[2020] French Jaguar A

Best to make a separate topic

https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/1981-general-discussion/

Links to more recent ones please? Thats why I suggested the dev section. As previously it wasn't possible.

Indian Jaguar, not the French A.

It is still within plans. We dont have any further news on it currently.

It was a visual bug that the launcher was missing. Its been fixed now.

The update has not even been released yet and that's the exact point of dev servers.

MiG-21s that were in the game long before Jaguar A also just got their flare pods. As we have been saying for some time now, they were all planned to get them and have been in the works for some time.

What people often don't understand, is that sometimes a couple of photos of something may well prove its existence. But is not enough to create a 3D model of it and represent it correctly in game. All of that background research and info has to go on at the same time as new aircraft are being introduced.

On top of this, we dont even have Jaguar GR.1A with its flares in ga

Jaguar BR was not increased solely due to it getting flares. It was doing really well at 10.0 and had to go up. The fact it was getting flares was just early info.

Draken is a very high performing aircraft. BR is based on how the aircraft actually performs in battle. Not if it has RWR or flares.

Nope. The pods fit neatly under the wing root, so it does not disturb any store locations:

A separate c*ckpit is not currently planned.

Myself and Scarper were able to get direct access to a Jaguar GR.1 and GR.1A c*ckpit from which we could take extensive photographic and video evidence for the Devs to model the c*ckpit faithfully for those models.

Such an opportunity has not yet arisen for the Jaguar A which is why it's not currently planned. That's not to say the idea has been abandoned entirely. If access is somehow possible or enough evidence is located it may well appear in game in the future too.

We already have consultants responsible for French vehicles.

Myself being able to go and visit vehicles here in the UK is just something Im able to do on the side of my CM roles.

Please submit a bug report and we can forward it on to them.

As well as the Magic being generally the superior missile, Jaguar A also has 252 countermeasures (one of the highest in game) compared to the 60 on the GR.1A thats also worth factoring in.

But the GR.1A is still new and very well could change depending on how it does. Its not just about raw comparisons of the vehicles themselves, but how they actually perform in battle.

According to all information we have, Jaguar E does not have RWR. This can also be seen visually that they don't have RWR fitted:

As always, if you have sufficient evidence that meets the criteria, feel free to submit a report for consideration: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder
