There are only online-server for CoD, where everything happens as the mission designer wants it.

Keeping talking about "Coop" - and "Dogfight" -Servers gives the impression of being rooted in the past and to be unwilling to cope wth the new reality.

That is my opinion.

I prefer the new system where "coops" can be a part of a "dogfight" airspace because it is less predictable and more historical in this sense.

However pure coop has some advantages that make it very attractive to many players. It is more organised for squad training and it is more competitive like an 8vs8 or 16vs16 duel. A planned duel with equal enemy can create a lot of adrenalin that makes this mode very addictive as a game mode.

I think we should keep communicating a constructive and detailed message about the coop-mode GUI issue to luthier in patch and updates threads where he can actually see it. Please post explanations and links that Alpha provided above on the 1st pages of luthier's and B6's threads.

On the other hand a ready-made and easy to use coop script by Banks is available for use now but no one is interested in flying coops with it because of CTD issue and lack of interest to the game. I think Banks even had to pause further development of it because no single squad was interested in testing it and providing feedback. Yes, we need GUI to attract new players but are users of this forum spoiled to the extent of not being able to press TAB - 4 - 123, etc. keys on keyboard instead of clicking LMB in GUI? I do not know, we will see when CTDs are fixed if any squad is ready to test the script/needs coops.
