==Tactics==

Jaguars are generally used to get fast and heavy tackle on kiting ships. Depending on the exact fit, and the type of enemy ship, tactics can vary, but generally the goal is to establish a very close orbit around the target, and then tank until backup arrives. Against non-missile ships, make sure to approach at an angle until you are very close, in order to maintain transversal velocity and make it hard for them to track. Once you are in close, scram them, turn off your microwarpdrive, and then orbit at 500. With a dualprop fit turn on the afterburner at this point. Against missile ships, transversal is not a concern, so just get into warp scrambler range as soon as possible. Also, because of the microwarpdrive signature radius bonus on the jaguar hull, if there is capacitor to keep the microwarpdrive on after you establish tackle, do so, since it will help sig tank incoming missile dps. Dualprop jaguar fits are best against enemies that use long range projectile weapons, especially if the enemy is fit with a warp scrambler and a stasis webifier, since they will not be able to hit. However, against missile based ships, or ships fit for brawling, sig tanking the incoming dps is not always possible. In this case sacrificing the afterburner for another shield booster is useful, since the Jaguar's bonuses allow it to facetank large amounts of damage if fit with several Medium Ancillary Shield Boosters. For example, against a autocannon Cynabal, a dualprop Jaguar would be able to ~~midigate~~ a significant amount of damage with its afterburner. However, against an Orthrus, the afterburner will be useless, and fitting 3 shield boosters would buy reinforcements a significant amount of time to arrive.
