Why is the Jaguar A/E at 10.7 BR?
Before people rush to claim it is the Magic 1, may I remind you that the Magic 1 is already available to the Mirage IIIC at a much lower BR and on a much better airframe. The Mirage IIIE at the same BR and the F-5C run circles around it. The Jaguar E shares the BR of the J-7D.
In case someone thinks it is a base bomber, it isn’t. It cannot wipe a single base unless you bring no air-to-air armament at all. For such a slow and un-maneuverable aircraft, that is a death sentence.
To add insult to injury, the Jaguar E is even worse. It is heavy and is just barely supersonic. It has horrific maneuverability and loses airspeed extremely quickly if you even think about turning. You only get two missiles. So… what is it? What merits the BR on par with much better aircraft?

The Jaguar A, E and GR1A are all over BRed these days, being “supersonic” with a CM load does make it a bit messy as to where to place them, but 10.3 wouldnt be any issue within the current compression.
I think I would place the A & E at 10.0 given they are Jaguar GR1s with flares which justifies the 0.3 higher BR and then place the GR1A at 10.3 given it has the better engines and RWR (though should get its digital RWR from the Jaguar GR1B which it is all but in name as well)
I got the Jaguar E from the last crates. I was excited for exactly one minute until i checked what it is and what ordinance it can carry. Heavier jaguar a at the same BR? Check. French tech tree? Check. around 40 € on the marketplace? Check. Looking forward to spade it to get a worse vehicle for my ground lineups before i get the basically same one (but slightly better) in the tech tree ahead of time? UNCHECK ALL
