Survivability and armour
The Jaguar GR.1 has no armour plating or armoured glass. The entire wings of the Jaguar GR.1 are made up of fuel tanks, along with most of the upper fuselage, with flight controls being exposed in the "spine" of the aircraft. The two engines take up a small amount of room in the very rear of the fuselage.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Jaguar GR.1 is armed with:
- 2 x 30 mm ADEN Mk.4 cannons, belly-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)
Suspended armament
The Jaguar GR.1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x AIM-9G Sidewinder missiles
- 76 x CRV7 M247 rockets
- 8 x 540 lb Mk.M1 bombs (4,320 lb total)
- 8 x 1,000 lb G.P. Mk.I bombs (8,000 lb total)
- 2 x AIM-9G Sidewinder missiles + 38 x CRV7 M247 rockets
- 6 x 540 lb Mk.M1 bombs + 2 x AIM-9G Sidewinder missiles (3,240 lb total)
- 6 x 1,000 lb G.P. Mk.I bombs + 2 x AIM-9G Sidewinder missiles (6,000 lb total)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Modules
| Tier | Flight performance | Survivability | Weaponry | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Fuselage repair | Offensive 30 mm | LAU-5003 B/A | |||
| II | New boosters | Compressor | Airframe | Mk.N1 540lb | AIM-9G | |
| III | Wings repair | Engine | New 30 mm cannons | Mk.10 1000lb | ||
| IV | G-suit | Cover | ||||
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Capable of using AIM-9G Sidewinder missiles that have decent range and turn performance
- Manoeuvrable, especially compared to the T-2 and F-4
- Decent roll rate
- Decent CAS loadouts
- Armed with the powerful ADEN cannons
- Equipped with RWR to warn about incoming radar-guided missiles
- Has a Girthy Gear
Cons:
- Mediocre speed performance for its BR
- Mediocre climb rate and energy retention
- Can only load two missiles
- Can't utilize SARH and/or BVR
- Not equipped with radar
History
