As a solo ship the Jag has a lot to offer. It can certainly handle all other frigate sized ships and flown well can be a threat to many cruisers. Basically in this ship you should feel free to engage pretty much any other frigate, assault frigate, light cruisers and interceptors. The only ship that is a real threat is the Ishkur (Gallente Assault ship). The Dramiel is an annoyance as, if dual proped, it can usually run away. I would say that the only real downside of the Jaguar is that most small ships will shy away from an engagement.
In fleet the Jaguar also really shines. Due to its tough tank it excels in the all important task of heavy tackle. There are few other ships that can grab a Vaga and scram/web it long enough for help to arrive. A rifter in this role is usually pulverized within a few seconds.

Note: In fleet a NOS usually is better then the rocket launcher since it will allow you to hold scram while being neuted.
Huh. I don't see the incursis as any kind of threat to the Jag.

^this guy has been flying Jaguars nonstop for nearly three years now. Since his fit is a fair bit different (And tears yours which also happens to be mine) up, you might want to take a look.
I think Toterra meant the Ishkur, not the Incursus.
ReplyDeleteJaepee is right, I meant the Ishkur.
ReplyDeleteDo you find the sig radius increases from the shield extension to affect it any?
ReplyDeleteBoth interesting fits....... yours and the Russian guys.
ReplyDeleteKey difference is the MDW/AB and the 150/200mm's.
