Something else...

COOP's other real strength is for training, say you have 8 guys from your squad and you want to practice something for a couple of hours, say dogfighting as a flight, with a COOP you can make a 4 vs 4 mission.

You can all start all at the same time at 12k ft, in formation with a 2 min flight time to intercept.
You have your dogfight and when it ends you can stop the mission, swap sides or what ever and be ready to go again in 1 min, or try something else.

Now it could be other missions, bombing in Stukas, bomber intercept, ship bombing, airfield attack with one side scrambling.
All this can be done with 5 mins flight time to target.

You get 10 training missions in 2 hours, you cant do this on a DFS.
