In the Philippine Phandango scenario, I was the Group Leader of 762 Kokutai, a torpedo-bombing squadron of Ki-67's. I was leading a strike of five bomber formations (15 bombers) south from our takeoff base, searching for a US carrier group.
About 20 minutes out, in a moment purely of brain malfunction, I pressed my bomb release instead of the view key I had intended. Thus, I dropped my one and only torpedo into the open sea with no enemy in sight, thusly:
Rather than continue with no ability to harm the enemy (since we still had to find the group let alone attack), I turned the group over to the 2nd in command and headed back toward base to get another torpedo.
However, on the initially clear way back, enemy fighter groups proceeded to patrol around between me and where I needed to go; and every time I changed my path to avoid them, they moved or more came in to block my way. I did finally make it back to a base, but here is the path I took to do it:
Needless to say, it took me a while.
