I have flown some very long missions online on the Slot map in the H8K Emily. Because of the threat of interception we flew a very long, out of the way mission profile to bomb Henderson Field. Navigated using compass headings and stopwatch, as there was nothing but water, 7000 meters below us.
It was very satisfying to do, but I would not want a steady diet of it.
