| The Strike Jaguar first appeared as a mass-produced model in TN 1918 as the Northern military's new assault/anti-armor Gear. When the War of the Alliance began, the Strike Jaguar was being manufactured only as a limited production model. The Hunter Commando, still in service, was not yet in need of a mass-produced replacement. It was during the Commando's last production run that the CEF landed. After a production run of more than 300 machines, Terranovan high command decided that too much precious materials were being lost to an older designed and ordered that the Hunter Commando be replaced by the Strike Jaguar on the assembly lines. Since only the offensive payload was modified, the basic Jaguar chassis staying the same, the replacement was fast and painless. The medium autocannon was exchanged for a Riley B-300 medium bazooka which delivered enough punch to stop or damage a light tank with one rocket-propelled round. A twenty-rocket incendiary rocket pack completed the heavier armament. Some of the first Strike Jaguars produced were fitted with a high-tech fire control system, but pilots in the limited production wartime runs of the Strike got into the habit of switching it off. They claimed it was because of glitches in the target identification and tracking software, but som ehave admitted that it had more to do with proving individual skill than anything else. Since the systems were not being used, engineers removed them from the mass-produced model.
