General information
In 1983, the Bundeswehr began modernizing their outdated Jagdpanzer 4-5 tank destroyers. This process involved removing the 90mm gun and replacing it with a TOW launcher on the roof, as well as adding additional armor to the hull. The resulting vehicle was named the Raketenjagdpanzer 4 Jaguar 2. A total of 162 tanks were modernized. In 1989, the TOW launchers were replaced with TOW 2 launchers. In 1993, all vehicles were replaced with an upgraded variant of the Raketenjagdpanzer 3, known as the Jaguar 1A3.
The Jaguar 2 was introduced in Update 2.53 "Line of Contact". Its advantages are its small size and reverse gearbox. Otherwise, it is poorly protected, and its ATGMs are too weak for fighting with majority of the enemy vehicles.
