This is correct 

They would cooperate. Remember they also had the IRST, and it could be used seperatly. That’s also true of the lantirn. 
 

Never flown a two seater, but it does not require much imagination to think of many operational advantages 

I thought we were talking about the F14 BU, that aircraft didn’t have an IRST and the lantirn only had controls in the back.

It started with the B(U). Then someone said that the D had what the OP asked about, then another asked if that would have any use.

People around here are obsessed with the “D”

B(U) us basically the D with the AWG-9 and no IRST. It seems that the idea was to make them as good as the D at air to ground, but without rebuilding them into fully fledged Ds (like what was done with some As).
