================================================================================================
Overview:
    The TIG-R1 Tiger was an old design that never left the drawing boards.  Being designed by
    the Federated Commonwealth during the succession wars. Its twin Auto Cannon were condemned
    as lacking in firepower and thus the designing was halted. With the revival of lost
    technology, the tiger's plans were pulled from storage and remodeled into the TIG-R4 by
    Davion scientists.

Capabilities:
    When the Rotary Autocannon was put into mass production, someone who remembered the design
    realized that the RAC/5 could solve the design's original fault. With two tons of ammunition
    per cannon and a little bit of luck, the Tiger can fire its cannons for extended periods of
    time. Since House Davion's premier assault mech was already the Devastator, they chose to
    build a lighter, more easily produced and maintained mech. This is made obvious by the
    standard engine and the relatively slow speed. This also greatly increases the design's
    durability.
    Aside from the arm mounted cannons, the Tiger sports a torso mounted LRM 10 for extra
    long-range firepower and a SRM 6 for increased short range effectiveness. A single Magna
    Mark III Heavy Laser mounted in the center torso gives the Tiger a decent punch at all
    different ranges. Rounding out the mech's short range arsenal are the two forward mounted
    medium lasers and three small lasers.  In order to fit all the weaponry on the mech,
    designers had to experiment with advanced structures. Seeing as how the Tiger was built to
    be inexpensive mech the designers opted to use Ferro Fibrous armor rather than Endo steel,
    minimizing cost and giving the mech a bulky exterior.
