Ships & Modules

I've seen lots of differing opinions on how to fit a Jag but most of the Battleclinic fits are from circa 08 so I want a more up-to-date one?

173 dps tank, 218 overloaded
215 dps, 248 overloaded.

2800m/s, 3977m/s overloaded.,

The Jaguar suffers from both lowish dps and poor gun range for an AF; it is the underdog AF at the moment, by and large. However, a fit I have used with some success is:

3x 200mm AC IIs

T2 AB, J5 scram, X5 or fleeting Web, T2 MSE

2x Gyro 2, TE 2, Pseudo DCU

Exp and Kin rigs (or extenders, I am on the fence as to which is better).

If you drop to the Internal DCU (17 CPU use) a Coreli C type AB fits. You need to quickly get into range of anything which holds away from you, like hawks or Ishkurs with brains (and rails), and brawl them down. Vs stuff which needs to be close, like Enyos, you take range to 7500-8k and kill, very slowly, with barrage.

At the moment, it isnt a bad ship. It just isnt a real good one either. I will be using Jags more in the coming months, as I want to see if it can still be viable as a solo AF.

As a heavy tackler in a gang, however, the Jag has few equals. Dualprop jags shine here.

EDIT: I would avoid harpies in it, unless you have reason to suspect failfit. Vengeances also can be problematic.

In my experience, MWD AFs make poor kiters due to their horrid turn rates, but I wholly agree that the wolf is much better with ACs and that these days, the Jag is better with Artillery. For people who must have AC jags, here is what I have been using;

[Jaguar, Shaguar]
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Tracking Enhancer II
Internal Force Field Array I

Medium Shield Extender II
Coreli C-Type 1MN Afterburner
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator

Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I
150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S

Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small Projectile Ambit Extension II

AB isnt as hamstringing in null as you think, but, of course, it has the jaguar's vulnerability to fast kiters like Slicers or Arty firetails. The T2 ambit rigs are cheap, but the neut will not fit with a T2 AB. If its too rich for your blood you can fit a T2 AB and 200s, and leave a high empty, or drop to a meta MSE. I like as much buffer (and passive recharge) as i can get on the jag if i am brawling in it.

Or, for killing annoying kiters, like the FOTM arty wolves:

[Jaguar, DualPropSolo]
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Gyrostabilizer II
Gyrostabilizer II
Internal Force Field Array I

Medium Shield Extender II
Limited 1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Gistii B-Type 1MN Afterburner
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I

150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
'Arbalest' Rocket Launcher I, Caldari Navy Mjolnir Rocket
150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S
150mm Light AutoCannon II, Republic Fleet EMP S

Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small Projectile Ambit Extension II

Irritatingly, needs a 1% CPU Rig. You can use a meta MSE to get around that, and it dosent need the B Type AB, it is just there to show that it fits (And because I have like, dozens of them). Vulnerable to ABing things which hold you at scram range with rockets, so... either avoid them unless you know theyre MWD fit, or just avoid Hawks and Vengeances altogether, which isnt a bad idea in any AC jag, really. The Wolf really simply is a better AC boat, due to its insane gun range.

I'll likely play with Artillery fits more. I like the potential.

Fixed.

the lack of an ASB on the other fits seems very foolish. The mASB for this fit adds 7k ehp per load likely giving you an additional 14k+ ehp while retaining a small sig.
