Right, this is not just for Gold Wing, it's for everyone that even thinks of stepping in a snub craft, okay?
First things first... your training is going well. The Academy is churning out aces at an astronomical level, our latest recruits having the best grades ever. The rest of you are improving steadily, which is good to see. Dogfighting has high skill levels, yet still has plenty of room for improvement.
What needs improving, however, are strategy and tactics. Myself, Captain Baranov and Lieutenant Commander Stirrov will be assessing and improving upon your ability to withdraw strategically in one piece. I also requisitioned a new arms suite for Captain Baranov's gunboat, Aurora, for training purposes against ordnance heavy gunboats. It is important that we learn to combat such tools which our enemies make use of.
I myself will be undergoing intensive dogfighting training at the moment, before restarting Admiral Zehn's old extreme snubfighting courses.
Stay frosty out there, and don't get yourselves killed. That's an order.
