Gutgen Tag Mein Kommandant.
As a result of the forced reconnaissance patrol of Dresden, were found Hessian cruiser and two bombers. It was decided to join the battle, when arrived in time when the support - Kurt Wulff. Later came the battleship RNC-BattRam. Hessian retreated into the cloud. They came up support - a bomber. In the battle had been destroyed three enemy bombers. No allied losses.
All three bombers were killed by Flieger Erich Alfred Hartmann. Assisted Kurt Wulff.

The last few days we're quite busy for me. I participated at the construction of our glorious station; "Krupp Munitions", I supplied it steadily, defended it against large Red Hessian forces, and last but not least, I fought for Rheinland in Hudson, against the Liberty forces, and I was there, when the mess in Omega-11 started. I won't go into details much about everything. I'll just upload those gun-cam pictures here.
That was yesterday:
And today, I've supplied Krupp again with several goods. Later, I recieved orders from the Admiral, to escort a Bretonian convoy, who were supplying Krupp for us. On our way, we catched a trader who was trying to flee, in engaging his cloaking device. But we gave him no chance and destroyed his transport, before he was gone.
Soon, we noticed the presence of the Red Hessians in Omega-7, and jumping there, we found ourselfes in an ambush, lead by Gunther Hoerst himself. We tired to defend ourselfes against the overwhelming fleet. Unfortunately, my Bergelmir got shoot down by a Cruiser and Guboat, since I damaged their hulls with my SNAC. But luckily I got away alive in my rescue capsule. Here are another few pictures of the described situations:
First thing I did today, was supplying Krupp with a load of Mox, to assure the functioning of the station shields. After that, I escorted a 2te trading convoy to Frankfurt and back again. Nothing noteworthy to report on this route.
Later on, I did a patrol from New Berlin to the Border systems of Stuttgart. The trade lanes were all safe.
On my way back to New Berlin I noticed a hostile vessel on my scanners near Battleship Strausberg. It was a Colonial Remnant vessel. I told him to stop and asked for his purpose. He was talking about a threat of Outcasts and some secret mission. That was all I got out of him. However, I escorted him out of the Rheinland Space.
After that, I went back to Krupp Munitions, where I saw another hostile vessel. This time, it was a Blood Dragon drone! I started the chase immediately. When I got closer to him, he engaged his cloaking device and disappeared from my scanners. Seems like they're done with their cloaking research.
[color=#FFFFFF]The image of a man in his 60s fills the screen, but not because of how close the camera is, but rather the rather healthy size of his gut.
Ahhh, Gut Abend He says, but obviously German is not his language, in fact his accent leans more towards Bretonia if anything Feldwebel Tauber here.
Today's patrol was lead by me, Feldwebel Engel accompanying me on his Wraith. We met up at Krupp and instantly went for Stuttgart. We did a sweep of the system, twice, mind, having heard reports of hostile ships in the area. Sadly we did not catch them near the transit network. We did, however, get a warning of a possible hostile in Dresden, so under Engel's guidance, we decided to take the shortcut through one of the known jumpholes. There we found our first target. Uploading data now.
The target was silent, trying to engage his cruise engines until we could not allow ourselves waste more ammo on him. Engel took care of the craft's shields, while the Hellfire Missiles ripped him apart. A single mine finished the job.
We did not get far, however, once we entered New Berlin and reached the lane, we found another target. This time it was a gunboat.
The target did not consider giving up, instead outright attacking us. Needless to say the fight was swift, his boat ate one nova torpedo after another.
With that, we finally got to Dresden, but by that time any possible threat had already left the area. Both Engel and I are now docked on the Altenburg for resupplies and minor repairs.

Guten tag! This is Natalia Wolfer reporting the patrol code #0007.
As I was returning from Stuttgart where I visited a friend, I have found a Liberty Navy bomber just outside Krupp, not sure exactly what he was doing but Krupp's shields were activated, I asked the pilot what were his intentions but responded that he was only looking for a fight where immediatly I got engaged but the situation didn't end up well for him. That is all for today.

Guten tag! This is Natalia Wolfer reporting the patrol code #0008.
In my patrol of New Berlin, I have found a freelancer bomber which I asked to stop for a cargo scan, he refused and mined the lane almost hitting me, I have engaged in pursue where after a while I got engaged. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter vessel approached us and asked me if I need any help, I refused and after just a few seconds the bounty hunter got killed instantly by the hostile bomber where eventually I have put an end to the target.

In order to proceed with the promotion procces I assign you to train three fliegers or gefreiters you choose to train.
After each training you will submit a detailed report how the training went.
This task will prove whether you are experienced enough to be a Fähnrich. Good luck!

Guten tag! With the assistance of a helpful Republican Shipping worker, RepEx|BlackTalon, I have intercepted a transport violating the trade embargo with Liberty!
The transport, a luxury liner with the comm ID "Macan.666", was shipping toxic waste from Liberty into Rheinland space. It possessed an Interspace Commerce ID at the time, and proceeded to Dortmund, hacking the secure docking codes and mooring with the station. I managed to intercept the transport as it left, but unfortunately my ship was hit by a wave of intense ion interference, and I temporarily lost the target before I managed to reboot my wraith's systems.
I once again managed to intercept the Macan.666 as it was heading to Alster Shipyard, presumably to leave Rheinland with a shipment of engine components. Strangely, it now possessed a Daumann Heavy Construction ID, and likely would be stopped at Liberty's border. I locked the liner down and fined accordingly, and then released it. I would like to request that the vessel be added to a Polizei watch list, as to take precautionary measures against repeat offenses!
Two days ago, I had a first training unit of 40 minutes with Gefreiter Martin Stamek.
I had a good first impression of his fighting skills. He already knew most of the basics. His aiming appeared to be good, and his movement was okay. I decided to give him some hints, how to turn his Wraith faster, when facing his opponent. I tried to explain him, that the key to success in a one versus one fight is, to outmaneuver the enemy. Especially when flying an agile vessel like the Wraith. I made him turn his ship quicker before passing the enemies vessel, in using the engine kill, so that he'll be able to be at the tail of his opponent as often as possible, shooting his back.
We tried it in practice, and he got it. He stopped to linger, which was a good sign. His strafing was also good. I advised him to use it more often when facing the other ship. Unfortunately, we didn't used mines (on his request), which made him moving a bit careless. However, I gave him the hint, to never hold his vessel. (Except for the "Anchor Turn".) Anyways, it'll be better if he never goes below ~150 mps. Even more, when his shields are down.
I also checked, when and how often he was using sliding, boxing and dodging maneuvers. I haven't noticed any fatal mistakes there. He knows what he's doing. That's important. I hope, that he'll remember it when it comes to serious combat situations.
I've heard, that he already had a training lesson with Natalia Wolfer before. That explains, that he already knew the basics.
That was all, to keep it short. If I'm having a second training lesson with him, I might teach him something, about how to use mines and avoid them. And since I prefer to fly a Bomber, I might have a training lesson with him in Bombers, to train a one versus one situation, as well as a Bomber versus Capital Vessel combat simulation.
My next training unit will be with Flieger Hanz Muller.
