Guten Tag, Kapitan Scharnhorst reporting from onboard RNC-Munster.
We responded to emergency call against several intruders in Hamburg system yesterday. Upon our arrival on scene, we detected one Liberty Dreadnought class vessel with at least 2 gunboats and 2 or more small ships as screening group.
Engagement between our Battleship and the Dreadnought began shortly afterward, with mortar fire at long range, at which we landed several hits and received few as well, however shields did not get drained fully, unlike the enemy battleship, which have been hit by concentrated fire from our mortars and bomber cannons. For a moment we broke up targeting of the [color=#990000]LNS-Louisiana and switched our attention to harassing gunboat, tagged LNS-Assault1, with full reverse thrusters to avoid fire from the battleship and close up on the enemy. Gunboat was scared away rather rapidly with hail of primary cannon fire.
Enemy battleship then turned around to gain some distance and it closed up to about 2,4k distance, at which we could commence primary gun barrage. In ensuing engagement, LNS-Louisiana suffered heavy damage and crew was forced to abandon ship as it exploded in massive firework display. One of the enemy screening fighters got caught too close to our gun platforms and exploded rapidly after being hit with few shots. With enemy capital ship destroyed, we provided covering long-range fire for our bombers against the remaining gunboats, which we did seriously damage and our bombers finished one of them off, while second escaped back to Bering.
A great victory for Rheinland, as during the battle we did not lost any of our forces.
