SEPECAT Jaguar GR3A: Sharpening the claws

I agree, 9L’s or L/i’s at the highest. The Jag is pretty underpowered and is fundamentally a strike platform and not a fighter. I’d like it to get an upgrade but if its going to be 12.3 because of the missiles, you might as well just use a Eurofighter or Tornado.

Posting since there aren’t many images of it:

The 2000lb bomb could only be carried centreline pylon, but Jaguar GR.3 could equip TIALD on the wing pylons which would facilitate self-lasing for this kind of munition.

the GR.1 could carry TIALD on the wings as well

XX108 was a test aircraft built to GR.1 standard so both jags already in game could technically get them

We need more test aircraft in the game. Between this and the Buccaneer with TIALD it would be fantastic additions.

Yes! Of course not with ASRAAM, that’d be busted
For around 11.0, .3 above the AMX thanks to increased flight performance but below the IS.

That mean RAF trials 2 ASRAAM on Jaguar GR.3A only but never service ? 🤔

I had a hunch that battle rating in ground RB higher AMX A-11 & AMX A-1A

I’m saying that the Gr3A shouldn’t get ASRAAM in game because that would mean a like 13.x BR

So in RAF service access ASRAAM on Jaguar GR.3A, but not trial ?

Gajin add new attack aircraft with IR AAM 12.7 & 13.0 for future

I guess in the future attack aircraft top tier max BR to 13.0

Honestly that’s not a bad idea, if it goes to high-rank VII (after the Jaguar GR.1A, before Harrier GR.7) it would be sensible to limit it to the AIM-9L. Maybe give it the M if it is badly underperforming but I doubt it

not an ASRAAM,… that’s an ACMI Pod

Ta daaa

I don’t know there were pods that looked exactly like ASRAAMs

that’s because they’re not pods, they’re the real missile, those above wing hardpoints are for a2a missiles

Can it carry 3 LGBs along with the Targeting Pod like the Jaguar IS? Itd be pretty cool if it could.

iirc no British jaguar could carry 3 GBUs + a Targeting pod, as the IS in game was specially modified to carry a LITENING pod in place of a cannon

Oof. So it could only carry 2 LGBs 😭😭. If it can double rack GBU-12s it would be kinda worth it… but i doubt it could. Tbh the gr3a should be foldered with the gr1a in game.
