Module Ops.Cohort
Ops - Cohort encompassed all characteristics of SQUADRONs, PLATOONs and FLOTILLAs.
Main Features:
- Set parameters like livery, skill valid for all cohort members.
- Define modex and callsigns.
- Define mission types, this cohort can perform (see Ops.Auftrag#AUFTRAG).
- Pause/unpause cohort operations.
