Cooperative missions are usually played with all players on the friendly team, but some missions may call for play against a human controled enemy force. The goal is to destroy Mission Objectives, and to protect any designated friendly objects. Expect to work WITH your team mates!!! The Host sets rules and chooses mission. Some missions allow for plane choice and weapon loadout, and others require a player fly the plane assigned, or the loadout may be preset. This game require players to support and protect each other while destroying the M/O.
Read the brief carefully, then chose your aircraft and weapons if allowed, and click in. Generally start the game with throttle set to zero, as coops often start on the ground or carrier. Follow waypoints, if there are any, by using the SHFT/6 keys then engaging the autopilot to steer you onto the correct heading. Following waypoints or following the wingleader (who is following waypoints) will get you to where the action is. During Coops with few or no revives it is important to know the location of a friendly base so that you can refuel and reload. SHFT/M will show you a map of the area, but don't fly into the ground or your wingmen while looking at the map!
