![]() The recommended payload for a fair trade in speed, firepower and defensive capabilities is the 2 x AIM-9G + 6 x 1,000 lb bombs payload, which provides more than enough bombs to take 2 bases in maps where there are only 3 bases and airfield, or 1 of the 4 respawning bases which take double the payload. The main advantage of the GR.1A over other strike aircraft is its ability to carry AIM-9G as well as significant ground ordnance due to the over-wing pylons. The Jaguar has a wide variety of payloads for all types of players: for those who want to be fast and engage bases or ground targets as quickly as possible, and for those who want to carry out as much destruction as possible. A well-placed Mk.13 is enough to sink a carrier. ![]() They are recommended to be used against destroyers, cruisers, battleships, and even enemy carriers. GBUs are the main weapon against any vessel. Rockets are not recommended to be taken as they are inaccurate and useless against lightly armoured vehicles, even with the ballistic computer. It is recommended to utilize the different bomb payloads combined with flares or with the AIM-9G if desired. The role of the Jaguar is pretty straightforward when it comes to air battles: base bombing or ground/naval units bombing. The Jaguar is mostly an air-to-ground plane with defensive capabilities against aircraft. * The TIALD pod must be carried when equipping Mk.13 bombs The best countermeasure against them is to stay out of sight by flying too high or too low. However, chaff still remains useless against SPAA radars. Flares are a very useful tool to combat both IR-guided air-to-air missiles and ground vehicles such as the Ozelot, Type 93, and SIDAM 25 (Mistral). The use of chaff and flares significantly improves the survivability of the aircraft in all game modes. The Jaguar has access to a Radar Warning Receiver, which can be useful to alert the pilot of incoming aircraft with radar-guided missiles, or ground based radar anti-air. Keep this in mind when fighting other aircraft and SPAA. As seen in the previous Jaguar, damage done to the engines will most likely result in making a non-recoverable manoeuvre and they are prompt to catch fire easily. This will help you a lot when getting shot at by enemy autocannons, but not air-to-air missiles, which are very common at this battle rating. The aircraft gets no extra armoured protection, therefore it's extra weak against autocannons. Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Limited Adour Mk.104 Use the airbrake in order to slow down faster. Upon reaching 300 km/h while on the ground, a drag chute is deployed to assist in slowing down the aircraft. When landing on an airfield, maintain speeds greater than 300 km/h but less than 450 km/h, this is to ensure the plane has enough space to brake and slow down. When landing on a carrier, maintain greater speeds than 360 km/h but less than 480 km/h, this is to ensure a safe pull up if the hook is missed. Landings should be done below 500 km/h but depending on the situation, map and place where the Jaguar will land (aircraft carrier or airfield) this may vary. Be aware of centering the aircraft correctly with the deck or else a landing gear might break. Carrier take-off are the same but with a much shorter take-off time. However, it is recommended to be used for an easier take-off. Flaps are not required for take-off even with the 8 x 1,000 lb bomb payload. Taking off with the Jaguar GR.1A is pretty straightforward, no changes from the GR.1 with the exception that it reaches the minimum lift velocity faster than the GR.1. It is nowhere near being the fastest plane at its battle rating but can become a difficult opponent when being hunted down, especially if the Jaguar has a speed advantage. It has the same loadout capacity as the previous Jaguar, performing nearly exactly the same with mounted ordnance. It generally maintains similar flight performance and use, with a slightly reduced turn-time at high speeds. However, due to having access to Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Limited Adour Mk.104 engines, the acceleration, cruise speed, and maximum speed are significantly increased. ![]() The Jaguar GR.1A handles nearly the same as the previous Jaguar GR.1.
