So, I decided to have another bash at one of these 'Enduring battle' things, it's on simulator only at the moment so I plugged in the shebang and off I went.
Yeah, Gaijin really need to work on it, because right now it's a whole load of nothing. There's no real directive to things, it needs more AI to attack, unless I just happened to roll in towards the end of one of the battles, there was only a handful of people on anyway.
So, after derping around in an He-51 for a bit, I finally 'unlocked' the Bf-110 and took that for two bombing runs on an enemy base, by which time I was the only person on the mission so the biggest danger was the ever present flak.
The base was destroyed, and so on the way back I decided to have a bit of fun with the 110.

And safely back at base, seven or eight bridges without crashing, that's a new record for me I think.
