It’s not so much about thermal signature for me, its about how its capabilities as a stinky little RAT could be improved.

Is that a SPIKE? Also, still waiting on the Wiesel HOTs.
yes that’s indeed a Spike, to be more precise a Spike LR2

They should have a light vehicle update where they give us all the different variants of the Wiesel, HUMVEE with TOW, JLTV with 30mm and Javelin, UAZ with Konkers, Willys Jeep with TOW, BRDM with the 5 Konkers launchers on top and all sorts of other light funny vehicles.

Marder also got it. As well as the Boxers and all other vehicles. Even the MAN trucks.
Puma IFV has no Barracuda package, cause IR suppression is already considered and “built in”. Unfortnately Gajin’s War Thunder models heat of jet engines and how accessible this is to IR guided missiles…but doesn’t do any calculations considering the IR profile of ground vehicles. They all appear the same generic way, even when you camoflage them up with vegetation. Even when they have Barracuda spectral camouflage like this ingame Challenger.
Would look like this. Russian Su-25’s currently see every enemy vehicle in bright white from many km away, from altitude and shot their KH’s from far outside SAM range. There is no way to hide. Its like russian perma win mode. Something needs to be done and this would be a simple way.
(Better would have been not to introduce anti ground missiles and target pods which work from dozens km away. Its so dumb. This gameplay is meh, even for WT standards. Pointless turkeyshot.)

The PSO is built with a smaller thermal signature in mind as well
didn’t know the Puma had IR suppression built in. Have you thought of making a bug report about it? Not that gaijin has historically fixed any of the Puma’s major bugs…

Protection value aside, it simply looks good. Wounder why Gajin didn’t used it. Instead all Leopards look almost identical. They should have done it as they did with the Challenger.

I look at that picture, and all I think is: ‘‘Gaijin, Fennek when?’’

Considering the fact Fennek’s most powerful armament is either a .50 cal RCWS or a 40mm grenade launcher? Likely never.
I don’t think there has even been an ATGM armed Fennek, at least not in German service.
Fennek no, but there’s quite a few TPz Fuchs with ATGMs.
They could add the one with a 20mm too with APDS rounds

Which will go to France
That’s not German
It shouldn’t. But knowing gaijin it will.
