Sir, after what I shall refer to as the 'Rostok' incident (Seperate File Attatched) with reference
to the behaviour of the BHG, and non-paynent for services rendered to our Police colleagues,
I returned to the Battleship Schwerin.
The mess was yet to open, so I reported for a last mission. This was proved to be a huge task,
and resulted in slight damage to my craft. The destruction of four Osiris and a wing of Titan
fighters, certainly wetted my appetite for schnapps.
The death of notorious Corsair Diego Llorens has boosted moral here and we shall continue
to serve with honour.

Purpose: After-Action Report
Durring my patroll of New Berlin, I encountered a Cylon Raider, WL-001. We engaged, and after a few minutes of hard pressed fighting the Radier ate a pair of Cannonball missiles and was blown appart like tissue paper. Docked at Essen to repair and re-arm.
Continued my patrol to Planet New Berlin, and encountered the Helghast, although the IFF said "Outcast," cruiser KidNasty. My ship was not equipped to eliminate this threat alone, so I called down to Bruno Stachel in Omega 15 for help. Managed to harry the Talarca Cruiser for a time untill the bomber showed up and then said cruiser was duly dispatched.
No further events were encountered durring my patrol, and I have re-docked at Strausberg. Awaiting further orders.

Bomber pilot Flamme reporting. Your men on the Schwerin are lying scumbags! They give me a one hundred thousand credit mission against the Corsairs and tell me it'll be an easy one. Boy do they like surprises.
I come to a group of five Centurian Heavy Fighters first. Dispatch three before the other two rabbit, this is the surprise. My target is there, the two Centurians I didn't kill are there... And so are thirteen level 17 Titans. In the process of destroying my target I took heavy damage. And I mean the worst. Flames were shooting out of my cockpit... I split after destroying Mario Schultes. A couple of Wraths snapped a picture of my limping home after that.
I'm off the to bar... After that, I need a few hard drinks. I better have the day off tomorrow. Even if I was on-duty... Ship's in the shop for the next few days.
Sir, I don't take kindly to your insinuation about the crew of the Schwerin. I have
found them to be a fine body of men, ready willing and able. If this was from the
Base Rostok, then I could agree.
I think you ought to be looking to your own ship and loadout to blame, I expect
cheap components are currently being used. Or possibly the pilot ??
A bad workman always blames his tools.
Please put your apology in writing.

Sir, if I may notice... you certainly live up to your pilot name! :P
I had a similar experience on Schwerin. Difference: a wing of 5 Centurions followed by a wing of 5 Centurions + 5 Titans, followed by another wing of 5 Centurions + 5 Titans... yeah, that should be the count of it 25 Corsairs in the hold. Took me bloody ages and a lot of dodging.
I have real weapons now, no more mister nice guy!

I will not be apologizing! It was supposed to be an easy mission! Hell, there should have been nothing more than Centurians in that run. Someone on that base, maybe not all, does not know what they're doing!
I mean, sure, the bomber's down a bit of shielding and armor, but that's what the "easy" missions are for! Its going to be real fun flying off that battleship...

Re: After-Action Report
Upon returning to New Berlin after assisting the KFP in New Tokyo, I was met with two rather large Corsair battleships tagged "RACS-Procrastinator-ADM" and "RAFC-Dreadnaught". Showing up red in HUD, they immediately engaged me. I returned fire, a rather hopeless battle, however, I had much help from the local police and the battleship patrol that was in the area.
Not long after, I contacted the Jag 52 Squadron for assistance in terminating the aggressors. Unfortunately, only one could arrive, Bruno Stachel. However, it proved that our combined might, Bruno, myself, the police, and the battleship patrol. At this point, the battleship was heavily damaged and lumbered off leaving us with a few cruisers and gunboats as assistance.
[attachmentid=997]
We caused massive damage on one of the enemy Dreadnaughts, though, as you can see from my black box image, I was beginning to take a bit of damage.
[attachmentid=998]
It was at this point that the battleship activated its cruise engines and began to withdraw, using the word "tactical" [read extremely badly damaged]. We began pursuit.
[attachmentid=999]
We tried a bit of taunting on system chat to get them to stop, but they were persistent on living.
[attachmentid=1000]
We chased them to the Frankfurt Jump gate were we continued our assault.
[attachmentid=1001]
We managed to do major damage to both ships before they escaped.

Tactical Overview: Guessing from our damage readings, they're repair bills will be much higher than ours. However, we lost two valiant police pilots to their nasty Solaris Chain Guns.
