Cool stuff! I was flying about an hour ago (same time as you) and had a little earlier tried (unsuccessfully) to knock down two Stukas over Ramsgate. You may have spotted the same ones making a successful return. They had just destroyed their designated target of parked Beaufighters parked at Ramsgate airfield.
The CTD's are annoying and hopefully will be fixed with the next patch.
Sounds like you picked a good time to fly. With Teamspeak you can coordinate with the Ju87's or 110's and spot yourself another 1000 meters above and up sun of them. Then just wait for an unwary Snapper to take a run at your buddies below. I've been picked off that way a time or two! LOL
