Motivated by the understanding that the war would eventually settle itself and lawful patrols would resume their prior virility; the Brigands opted to take advantage of the lull in authoritative scrutiny, and increased piracy largess, to begin the development of a new bomber craft to replace archaic models of dubious success. While costly, the venture yielded significant advances in engine and powerplant technologies, enabling the deployment of a balanced craft suited to the task of surviving the advancing new age.

Handling

Outdated Review (4.86)

Review (4.86) The Jaguar is one of the most agile bombers in the game. With its size, shape, and speed, it really feels as though you're flying one of the heavier VHFs. It has 3 bomber guns and 4 bomber turrets, two of which fire forwards, amounting to 5 shooting forwards and 4 in all other directions. However, turret-steering is not as simple as it would be in a transport, gunboat, or capital ship. When you turn like a fighter, and your guns have 400 m/s projectile speed, you will find that even cruisers become difficult to hit unless you're flying towards them to add your ship speed to your projectile speed. Still, it's a great ship, and I was able to make lots of bombers angry in conn pew pews. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by TLI-Inferno
