Air battle wasn't going so well. I got in my Havoc and took out some ground targets(light vehicles, so 40 easily-destroyed armored cars on each side), but was shot down. Still, that may have tipped the battle significantly.
Got in my B-34, bombed some more armored cars before drawing attention of one particular pilot(using Japanese planes, which out-maneuver anything American at this tier). Turret fire forced them away, but more attacks came, even as I was dropping another load of bombs on target. Tail gunner dead, one engine
on fire, and the damage display has my fuselage at
black.
I'm fucked. Everything is OK.
I figure I would go down and use my last plane(P-36G) and hope I can wait out the ground fight(generally, over time the ground targets kill each other one-for-one). My burning engine blows out, but I'm still flying. Sideways, but still flying. The replay shows me as already destroyed. I've got two fighters coming at me head on, the Japanese plane from before, and a Russian I-15(which is the Russian reserve plane). The Japanese plane just explodes which I get the credit for(replay shows them with destroyed engine and missing a half a wing), and I spray the I-15 in the face with bullets.
Then I look at the mission score, our team still has 15 armored cars left, they have
1. Then, "Hostile team has lost all their vehicles"(which means no players on the other team are spawned, and are losing points). Then "Sole survivor award", which means I'm the last player on
my team left in the game.
