Do Not Panic if you don't see the 'Mech portrait of the ebon jaguar! Just look for what does "not belong" under Clan Heavies when selecting 'Mechs.

[DarthHias]

So... is the Jaguar worth getting?

[MovinTarget]

EBJ are pretty sweet...

[KhanJames]

I would say so its generally very similar to the timber. slightly less manuverable/ractive but lower/smaller profile and as near as i can tell more useable pods space(in weight+crits)/weapon slots. i like it and its not usually targeted as fast as people go after timbers and dires so you live longer.

Absolutely. It can run a large variety of absolutely devastating builds, from Double Gauss to Triple UAC/5 Dakka to standard C-LGpls+CERMlas laser vomit, and everything in between. It is a better ballistic boat than the Timber Wolf, and actually has more free tonnage(28.5 tons free on EBJ w/max armor, 27.5 on the TBR w/same). High mounts, good speed, low profile.

Finally, free usage of EBJ omnipods...

[Speedy Plysitkos]

whats the point of difference 800 MC on different cheetah ? i could buy the cheapest, and switch 2 omni.

[Luscious Dan]

The Jag has tons of equally viable builds right now. The different pods let you put just about anything just about anywhere. You can do gauss with lasers, gauss with ppc, dual gauss, many varieties of laser vomit, mixes of missiles and medium lasers, the list goes on. Generally your only limits are heat and ammo capacity, since the thing has so much free tonnage available.

And (for now) it has no quirks, which relative to the Timber means no negative quirks. Subject to massive change obviously with the balance pass. The 3E left torso (with two high mounts and one in the chin) for example could get hit hard. It's basically the equivalent to the TBR-A torso if I remember my variants correctly, and it increases the hill humping ability of the Jag pretty rapidly.

MC cost is calculated using the C-bill price. Prime variant has ECM and whatnot included, raising the C-bill price and the MC accordingly.

[RapierE01]

EBJ will buy now

[Tresch]

Looks like Omnipods aren't available for cbill purchase yet IMPATIENT

[Wayward Herald]

EBJ with 4 x ERLL Awesomesauce and heats not too bad if youre careful. Cores Lights to Mediums with ease.

[PFC Carsten]

Just 3 weeks after I got the Cheetah Package. But after the nerf it could not have taken long.

I personally consider an EBJ more dangerous than a TBR, and tend to focus on them, if for no other reason than the TBR is the "meta king" and that means TBR pilots are generally (though not always) inferior to a good EBJ pilot. Plus, EBJs can mount dangerous amounts of ballistic firepower for their size. Add to that the fact that they don't have quite as much armor as a TBR, and you have a good target.
