I think it is its own coefficient in the game and each air craft has it set to something corresponding to its irl IR signature
Yes, and harrier is modeled as having 4 separate engines.
4 independent heat signatures all close together and a very high TWR.
There is already an accepted report in, the harriers IR sig needs to be dropped 10X over.
No, that isn’t right.
yeah do not know why lol they had so many work arounds but they just decided nah the engines are all the sun
A free TOG? Don’t mind if I do.
Interesting. Couldn’t you theoretically make a report showing that Harrier has a higher IR signature despite having lower thrust than some aircraft in-game by using IR missile seeker lock-range?
They didn’t have these in 2020. Today yes.
Also unfortunately the performance of the Harrier was basically unknown until I started autismo looking into it.

Oh dude, the variety of camos is what made me a huge fan of the JASDF
+1 to a F-15DJ
F-16AJ is the worst example of that, because Gaijin only made a mistake. They thought the F-16AJ was prototyped because they confused it with separate, unrelated Sparrow tests on the YF-16A, and somehow the F-16ADF.
That’s how we not only got a fully paper aircraft, but a fictional configuration pieced together from multiple others. This happened before with the Panther II, which in War Thunder was also a mix of various different Panther based projects and later removed.
The real best comparison is probably something like the Yak-141, which was prototyped to some extent, but not in the intended final configuration. Still it was added as the intended combat capable variant in War Thunder. This is in forum suggestion rules as unfinished prototype and in actual Gaijin rules they allow it whenever they feel like it, but prefer close enough real alternatives (Like how they didn’t add F-111K, but F-111C for UK)
