Last night, just before 2:00 A.M., I was looking at the map for one last fight. I found three Russian fighters attacking a ground target North of P-2, about 5 miles South of our (Finish) base. It looked like something was shooting back so I thought that they may have been fighting a friendly GV. I grab a FM-2 (Because FM stands for “F***in - Magic”) and head toward them low.
Its not looking good, I’m on the deck, and not all that fast, I think they were Hurris and a 109 (not sure). One sees me and heads toward me. I decide to go for the HO since I’m at a numbers and alt disadvantage. Better make it 2:1 ASAP.
We merge, we spray, and I’m looking at my desktop.
Windows thought this would be a fine time to let me know about the Daylight Savings change!
I see the Windows time change dialog notice, then see that AH is still running in the task bar. I grab the mouse and click on AH in the task bar.
Back in Finland… still flying, scan around, only one con (I think…? Still confused as to what happened)
I scan all over for the other two. Did they get a Windows notice too? Did they run home after expending all their ammo on the ground target? A few minutes later I shoot down a bomber and get a freebie kill for something I never saw. Was it a gunner? Did the guy I Hoed finally crash or disco? Did one of the other planes disco when my AH minimalized and did the game give me a kill of him.
If you were there at this time, fill me in. I think Window erased part of my memory when it minimalized AH.
Either way, I’m pretty confused.
