Named after a mythical beast renowned for its voraciousness, the Wolf is one of the most potentially destructive frigates currently in existence. While hardier than its brother the Jaguar it has less in the way of shield systems, and the capabilities of its onboard computer leave something to be desired. Nevertheless, the mere sight of a locked and loaded Wolf should be enough to make most pilots turn tail and flee. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
With 5 high slots and 5 low slots, the Wolf is a brute of a damage-dealing frigate. Its 2 mid slots means it is not well suited to tackling, as it has very little space for tackle and utility modules. The same slot limitation hampers any really serious shield tanking, which requires mid slots. Consequently, when compared to its brother the Jaguar the Wolf has more firepower but less speed and less utility beyond its core purpose of dealing damage.
Skills
Like other Tech 2 ships, the Wolf has tight fitting requirements, which are eased by fitting skills, and also benefits from excellent support skills in general. As a turret-focused damage-dealer, the Wolf deserves Tech 2 small projectile turrets, and the best gunnery support skills you can supply.
Tactics
Within the broad activity of damage-dealing, the Wolf has many valid fits, from an armor-tanked autocannon brawler, through a balanced mid-range kiting autocannon fit, to a fast long-range kiting artillery fit. Most fits will mount an Assault Damage Control for brief bursts of near-immunity to damage; this can work especially well when supported by fast, agile frigate-sized armour logistics ships. Artillery fits fighting at long range can sometimes do without the ADC, if their primary defensive plan is to warp out.

Notes
- The February Assault Frigate balance update introduced a new module for HACs and AFs, the Assault Damage Controls, which can replace the Damage Control module for these ships
