MANPADS Commander and Dog Ear

[MBot]

From old Lock On days I remember that the units MANPADS Commander and Dog Ear radar would supply target information to other units in their group. Testing this in DCS with the getDetectedTargets() function, indeed other air defense units in a group inherit detected targets by Commander/Dog Ear. Despite this, the engagement behaviour of such air defense units does not change at all, they engage targets at the same time as if they would have detected them on their own. MANPADS Commander and Dog Ear have zero practical effect in game. I wonder if this is by design or if this is a bug that crept in at some point.

I remember it having a noticeable effect in the DCS 1.2 days, for sure. Probably worth reporting.
