Wouldn't this be a great target for an IR guided missile?

  Exactly. Missiles would hit the emitters, where the armor is the thickest, giving the crew and tank the best chance of survival.

    But if you knew the tank model a computed offset would negate that...

      It's an old system that iirc they're phasing out. It was probably designed against for older analog systems similar to the the pulsed IR jammer turrets on US helicopters. Focal plane trackers are generally able to defeat these types of decoys through software updates

  The commander's tank doesn't have them.

  They supposedly only enable them when they know the tank is being actively targeted by a missile that the countermeasures are effective against. Supposedly.
