What air combat sims have il2 co-op style play?

[ExpendableWendel]

Silly me purchased the game assuming this would be available, alas it is not, and seems to have been ruled out: http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/168-developer-diary/#dd27

 

I'm currently flying il2 co-ops, but that seems to be dying out. I'm primarily interested in flying objective based missions with. But I dislike very game turning into the same dogfight game regardless of the mission objectives.

 

So, as co-op is the only style of play that interests me, what other combat sims, not limited to WW2 are out there today that have the il2 style play available?

There are coop missions for DCS. But what is missing, is filling the unoccupied slots with AI, this is a feature only IL2:1946 has.

Co-ops are regularly flown in RoF, when the ME and Dserver is released I am sure a similar state of affairs will develop in BoS, also have a look into SYN_ 'vintage" missions when they are run as I believe these are much more objective based and may be more what you are looking for

 

RoF co-op example

Last time i played RoF coops, your not able to take seat in airplane that is part of flight of AIs and your friend can not take another flight of AI and control them or atleast control one wingman and play coop missions like Il-2 1946 coops, so RoF dosent have Il-2 type coops as OP asks

Using that criteria, the only game that has identical coop functionality to IL2 1946 is IL2 1946, and that shall be true forever and ever and ever.

True. The short answer is no other title does co-ops like 1946.
