Just came off ATAG, a few examples of why I prefer coops old style:
1. No human 109/110 vulchers above the airfield (unless put there by mission maker)
2. Wanted to do some bomber intercepting, took off in my 110 and flew around for the good part of an hour along the channel, didn't see 1 bomber, waste of precious time for me plus a spit jumped me and I didn't hear it because I had my headphones off *doh!*
How it would've gotten down if it were "old" style coop:
Group of players select aircraft, spawn and take off and goes on their merry way towards target/intercept/bombing raid etc. No human players spoiling all their fun before they are even in the air. Don't have to look for bombers that may or may not show up at a certain time and place.
Don't get me wrong ATAG is great but sometimes the whole dogfight/coop hybrid doesn't do either very good, ok maybe the dogfighting part but that never interested me so much.
