Would be actually great if coop system gets upgraded somehow...
So we don't have to wait for a long time before enough people saddles up for start.
How to achieve that I don't know... but I do know that is one single thing that kills coops, which are, from my perspective best aspect of IL2.

90% online, 10% offline.

I hear what some of you are saying about immersion being better offline. That is true in most ways. And I agree that even though AI pilots can be a bit dim sometimes, at least they will not be abusive. But the place I fly online does not tolerate abuse, and the planesets are as historically based as one can hope for from a dogfight server. Teams are axis vs. allied, and as long as you don't dally down low in the flak over the bases, the flying is knuckle-whitening and the skill of the pilots you fly against is immeasurably higher that the AI. Throw in objective-based maps with ground targets and lots of variety, and I think that spells fun. I am talking about Skies~Of~Valor, which I help run. So if historical plane matchups are your thing, but you hate the abuse that can happen in many dogfight servers, stop in and say hi sometime.

I recently discovered Paul Lowengrin's DCG, however. That brilliant little piece of software has been keeping me up nights flying really cool dynamic campaigns in co-op, and even in single-player. If you haven't tried it, take the time to do so - it is truly fantastic.

See you up there!

Well 80% offline and 20% online, though a lot less online now that most servers have jumped to the other side. I think coops are the best online experience, and there are some very well run dogfight servers but I never could handle the fact when you go bombing in one of them you're on your own usually. Otherwise nothing to add that hasn't been said already really.

Mostly Onliner

Offline for bombing & gunnery training, and to retake situational awareness when grounded for too many days, because working abroad.

100% noline at the moment. Might get back to IL-2 at some point, though, in which case it's designing coops 99% of the time and making a drunken arse of myself online every Friday night.
