COOP. switch functions

[Dača]

Hello,

From what I understood this is not implemented yet. But there was some talk here that there are some functions.

So my question is: Are there any functions and benefits from this switch, currently?

You can read all about it in my post here 

If you only move coop switch you only get IRST picking up lost radar lock. 
 

If you move radar switch from ILLUM to dummy when using the IRST modes ( IRST search/IRST vertical scan/opt/helmet) you get all the other functions I talk about in the post. Let me know if you have questions

Radar switch is placed to DUMMY before or after irst lock to get those functions?

It does not matter. 
 

If I place radar to dummy, and in IRST scan mode lock someone, I will get radar range in 3 seconds. 
 

If with radar in Illum and IRST scan mode lock someone outside laser range, then place radar into dummy, I will then get radar range within 3 seconds. 
 

You just can’t use radar in coop mode while it is in dummy, so you need to move it back to Illum while keeping coop switch forward for that. Eventually coop switch forward will force radar to MPRF and 25 km scale

That makes perfect sense. Set to ILLUM, the radar is doing its radar thing plus transmitting making it the primary channel. Set to DUMMY, it's doing its radar thing and waiting to be told what to do with it.
