I feel cheated out of a possibly amazing landing. It was the African canyon map, and I was in a Wellington. Having dropped a good deal of ordnance on the enemy airfield, I swung around as I waited for the bombs to reload, (I was in arcade mode) when I get an enemy on my tail. After a lot of shooting and trying to make evasive maneuvers in the big Wellington, the enemy disengages, might've been shot down. Anyways, I take stock, and find that my tail and left wing are heavily damaged: my rudder was completely shot off the vertical stabilizer, and the left wing resembled Swiss cheese. But, it seems to be flying stable, so I try a few maneuvers, and much to my surprise, I could still fly the bloody thing! So, I decided to see if I couldn't land this wounded Wellington. I made for the base, slowly descending from altitude and trying to scrub off some of my speed. I was still coming in fast, so I decided to take a gamble and circle around to the other side. The rest of the team isn't doing so hot meanwhile, and the victory points are falling faster than a dive bomber. As I'm on final approach, gear down, flaps deployed, we lose the match...

I think you could imagine how annoying this is for me, here I've spent most of the match trying to nurse my mortally wounded bomber back to base, and when I'm almost home, the match ends in a loss!
