Many players are missing coop-mode (group flights with guarantied opposition). I was thinking that it is possible to simulate coop if calling up bomber missions will be allowed only if x >= 4 (or 5) human fighters spawn at the same airfield. Then they will be allowed to spawn 1x to 3x number of bombers. The opposite side should be informed about this raid to join their forces. All this will motivate cooperation and joint flights in coop style because you can create a bomber raid only if you spawn as a 4+ group and the larger your group is the more bombers you can create. Group flights will motivate the opposing side to join forces to intercept the raid if they want to have any success (intercept map-grid should be announced IMO as it used to be in COOPs).

I put down this idea in more details here some time ago http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...or-ATAG-server

Group action will be much more fun and attract more players imo. I have seen many complains of players leaving servers because they can not find many targets at one place. This is especially valid for the channel map.

Hi Artos, I like your thinking on the +4 coop bomber mission. I will take a look next week and see if it can be done (should not be to hard).

As for the missions you can call up 3 at once and then they are limited by time or 80% destruction.

you can call 1 High level, 1 low level and 1 Ground mission at once. Limiting factors are online code at the moment and best to limit AI in game. But say a high level mission runs for 60mins, if you complete it early and destroy 80% of bombers then you can call another mission before the 60mins is up.

As for people saying there are not many targets... well Sittingbourne and Port of Calais have 17 objectives and about 35 buildings you have to destroy at each city. Then every ground mission you call brings in new factories and building objects designed for severl bomber passes or a group at once (on both sides).

Plus many bonus objectives (factories, ships, convoys etc.). They are just not advertised, but neither were they in war. Blow up a ship or a small factory in a small town and you just might get Bonus objective points awarded.
