Jaguar — French Tier V destroyer.
An ancestor of a sub-type of large destroyers (French "contre-torpilleurs") that were fast-moving ships, their speed being typical of the French Navy. In contrast to destroyers of that time, these ships had large dimensions and powerful artillery armament.
Jaguar first appeared in the tech tree on 24 Aug 2019.

Player Opinion
Performance
Tier V is an incredibly diverse tier for battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. No other tier can have within its ranks the Kamikaze sisters, Gremyashchy, and Okhotnik or boast greater variety among its destroyers than, possibly, Tier VIII. As such, it speaks to Jaguar's strengths that she can stand out among her peers. No other ship has even close to the 16,600 HP on Jaguar's researchable hull. Nicholas comes in a distant second with her 13,100 HP on Hull B.
Jaguar's armament is a pedestrian upgrade over her predecessor. She equips the same guns, just 5 of them instead of 4, and slightly improved torpedoes. Jaguar's turret angles are slightly wider than her predecessor's, though firing a full salvo still requires exposing considerable broadside. At Tier V, competition from artillery-focused destroyers increases. Notably, Hill also has 5 guns with a similar damage per shell, though each reloads in just 75% of the time. To stay alive and maintain her influence throughout an entire game, captains must learn to stay at range and occasionally let allies do the spotting. Jaguar cannot win every destroyer duel with guns alone, though her high health pool affords her the ability to sustain some more blows. Furthermore, Jaguar's high detectability range and lack of smoke puts captains at a disadvantage when they need to disengage.
As far as torpedoes go, Jaguar's are on par or better than even the infamous Kamikaze clones' in maximum damage, speed, and range. Every opportunity to launch her fish is an opportunity to terrorize the enemy, though such opportunities are limited by a 90 second reload time. Jaguar's 8 km torpedo range and 68 knot speed are second to none and only Jianwei's researchable deep water torpedoes can deal more damage. Another positive is Jaguar's ability to stealth torp, which allows her to deliver devastating strikes from the safety of the shadows. Captains should keep in mind that Jaguar's torpedo angles are more limited than that of most Tier V destroyers, especially towards the bow.
Tier V comes with more competition whereas Tier VI comes with a boost in the form of Main Battery Reload Booster. This places Jaguar in a weird position where some players likely will only play her so they can stop playing her. Jaguar is more difficult to play than Bourrasque because of the diverse composition and opposition at Tier V. Her ability to take extra hits is welcome, though this may not be obvious when trading blows, during which dealing damage often comes first. Barring impulsive moves that force her into the early crossfire, her appreciable armament can stay in play for a full 20 minutes. When played well by captains unabashed by staying a bit behind the front-line, Jaguar is very effective.Pros:
- When upgraded, highest health pool among Tier V destroyers.
- 3rd largest main battery range (behind Gremyashchy and Siroco).
- Torpedoes have best speed and range and good maximum damage (behind Jianwei by 1,867 hp).
- High speed of 44.4 knots with Engine Boost and Sierra Mike (behind only Podvoisky with the same loadout).
Cons:
- No Smoke Generator .
- 3rd largest detectability range (behind Podvoisky and Hill).
- Torpedo launchers reload in 90 seconds (2nd worst, beats Acasta by 5s).
- Mediocre turret and torpedo arcs that require exposing broadside and effort to use well.
Research
Availability of researchable upgrades for Jaguar is as follows:
- Hull: Upgrade to Hull (B) for better armor and anti-air defenses. Research of this module unlocks progression to Guepard.
- Gun Fire Control System: Upgrade for an extra 10% range on the main battery.
Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
Unlike the French cruisers, the French DDs don't seem especially apt to lose their steering or propulsion.
- Slot 1: Main Armaments Modification 1 or Magazine Modification 1
- Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1 or Engine Room Protection
- Slot 3: Aiming Systems Modification 1 or Torpedo Tubes Modification 1
For Slot 1, the signal Juliet Charlie prevents detonation. In this case, Magazine Modification 1 is unnecessary and Main Armaments Modification 1 is preferred to keep armaments functioning.
For Slot 2, Engine Room Protection is useful as incapacitation of the engine and/or steering gear can be fatal. With the Last Stand skill, Damage Control System Modification 1 becomes viable in Slot 2 as it can decrease the chance of fire and flooding.
For Slot 3, Aiming Systems Modification 1 is useful for a slight decrease in dispersion. Alternatively, Torpedo Tubes Modification 1 can be equipped to increase Jaguar's torpedo speed by 3.4 knots to 71.4 knots.
Commander Skills
Key skills for Jaguar commanders include Preventive Maintenance, Last Stand, Basic Firing Training, and Concealment Expert.
