Good initiative Ej! And thanks to Rth, Enterprise and Derp for the feedback. To add mine:

1. On the armor, I think what Ej meant (and correct me if I'm wrong Ej) is that with ERA it can be comparable to an MBT against HE and HEAT rounds. Still, if the Jaguar is much larger than the Stryker MGS (the vehicle that first comes to mind) then its possible to have heavier armor and still be as fast. Also, the ERA blocks are not shown.

2. Ej did say its an IFV so it's not meant primarily to engage tanks but to support infantry. So its vulnerability to sabot rounds is an acceptable compromise.

3. A 115mm gun on a larger vehicle than Stryker makes sense as it provides possibly greater range and firepower. The magazine is okay since the gun is in a remote mount, and not storing ammunition in the hull decreases the risk of catastrophic explosion when penetrated.

4. Ej, I imagine that the base IFV variant won't have the 115mm gun turret and the sophisticated radar system which has AT and AA capability (again, ala Stryker).

Cheers!
