Ha! We finally nailed that Junker pilot, Walligig! His light, speedy Collector evaded our guns for such a vast amount of time, it was ridiculous!
I was joined in catching him by Gunther.Rall, an independent Rheinland pilot. We pinned the sod down for ages.
Then we were joined by Jack.Archer, Johann von Wolfhausen (Saarland) and eventually Erich.Hartmann.
Our combined guns were too hard for the fighter to avoid, and he was taken out. His skill at dodging was tremendous, I must say. After the fight I paid both Hartmann and Archer their wages and organised for repairs to the bombers on New Berlin.
However, some negative aspects in our ranks have been brought to light by recent events.
One) A lack of training the new recruits. Our bomber pilots are great, but the fighters are lacking in number and could do with some polish. Also, I myself am not accustomed to my new gunboat. It'll take time and scheduled training sessions before I get to my usual level of skill.
Two) A need for light fighters. That explains itself.
Three) A lack of discipline in the ranks. In particular I have suffered repeated insubordination from Johann von Wolfhausen (Saarland). For one, I am generally patient and easygoing with those of lower rank than me, but his behaviour is ridiculous.
I had been getting lip from him all day, and when his ship arrived, late, to the fight, he had the foolishness to lose his shields and fly at the muzzle of my missile turrets. You get the picture.
His smart-assedness after was even worse. I believe that this fool has even smart-mouthed Admiral Hiltraud before, unless I'm mistaken. Therefore, I suggest that he be demoted to the rank of Human Toilet Paper.

However, I must say that the conduct of Lieutenants Hartmann and Archer was exemplary. Those boys know their ships well and if things go as I see them, they will both go very far, very fast.
-Richthofen out!

>Let's see here, I have not been giving you lip, I demand to know how I was late to the fight when I got there as fast as I could. You shot me with your missile turret (on >accident, I don't know), after I was about to follow your order to place the mines you told me to, then you go and tell me to shut up when you yell at me for you killing me.
