I want to run COOPS rather than DF's and in IL2 the only way to do that was running the full game on a server with the graphics turned down.
RoF runs DF and COOP mode on their dedicated software (albeit not very well for COOP), I'd like to know whether CoD will be able to do the same.

The RoF dedicated server is a joke... Try starting a simple df mission and look at the CPU load when NO players have joined. It's like 50-70 load on my old dual core P4 server. Sure it's an old server but a real dedicated server software with no one connected should have almost zero load if there are no AI-planes waging a big war between themselves. When I run IL2 server with a bunch of players connected and ships firing at each other you can hardly notice any load on the system, the IL2 server process is like 3-6 percent CPU load. Same with LFS dedicated server that I have run quite a lot on that machine. With 16 connected players the LFS process is at maximum 10% CPU, most of the time at ~5%.
So I'm pretty sure the RoF "Dedicated" server is more or less a normal client process that has directed the output to dev null
