The A-10 was designed for the rudders to hide the exhaust... but better infra-red guided missiles came out soon after, and the newer ones could lock onto the aircraft inlets.
There are two kinds of wars. One is against a near peer competitor. Think WWI, WWII, and perhaps Korea after the ChiComs got in with Russians flying the Nork planes.
Then there are the colonial wars, against (as Black Adder put it) natives armed with sharp pieces of melon.
A lot of systems are designed for the first, but end up getting quite a following when they perform well against the second.
