Is CoD worth getting?

But unless we get COOPs will never get close to recreating BOB battles online, it simply will not happen.

The ATAG server can be great fun, ive had fun on there. Its the best CLOD experience online by a mile, but its not the BOB.

Yes there are features that still need work, but I still don't see the FMB options available discriminating between Coop or any other servers. Call your group whatever you want but there should still be options to fly the missions you want to fly, with passwords to stop people not interested in flying your mission.

Once the sim is working properly I can easily see someone setting up a completely historical online campaign where the AI fills all the spots, and aircraft takeoff from historical airbases at the historical time, programmed with the historical mission. The campaign could be used by Coops or otherwise. The Coops could have a password so only those who want to fly a specific mission can do so without interference from renegade human pilots. 24/7 servers could have people or groups of people join the campaign at any time and take AI spots, or takeoff from the appropriate airfields of their choice and attack targets of opportunity. There could easily be options for anything inbetween those two scenarios.
