Armaments

Offensive armament

The Jaguar E is armed with:

• A choice between two presets:
  • 2 x 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons, belly-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)
  • 2 x 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons + 252 x countermeasures

Suspended armament

The Jaguar E can be equipped with the following ordnance:

• Without load
• 2 x Matra R550 Magic 1 missles
• 8 x 400 kg SAMP Type 21 bombs (3,200 kg total)
• 11 x 250 kg SAMP Type 25 bombs (2,750 kg total)
• 2 x 400 kg BGL-400 bombs (800 kg total)
• 2 x 970 kg BGL-1000 bombs (1,940 kg total)
• 2 x AS-30L Nord missiles
• 16 x TBA ECC rockets
• 16 x TBA Multi-Dart 100 AB rockets
• 108 x SNEB type 23 rockets
• 144 x SNEB type 23 rockets

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).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Wide variety of air-to-ground loadout options, including laser guided bombs
• Access to very effective Matra R550 Magic 1 missles
• Good maneuverability once suspended armament is disposed of

• Healthy amount of countermeasures
• Has two pilots which decreases risk of losing aircraft due to pilot snipe

Cons:

• Has no radar nor radar warning receiver
• Top speed and acceleration are mediocre
• Poor energy retention, bleeds quite a lot of speed in turns
• Performance is significantly crippled while carrying big bombload

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
