Guten Tag, Das ist Gefreiter Carl von Manstein of the 88th Rheinwehr Brigade,


This is a report about patrol NR-82. The patrol started in Battleship Strausberg after a few delays for technical reasons. The patrol consisted of Flieger Hollweg, Recruit Reims und me. We patrolled the New Berlin System and then we continued to Hamburg System. There, we checked the trade lanes and all the installations for pirate and Libertorian presence and after we didn't find anything suspicious, we jumped to the Bremen System. In Bremen, we patrolled around Munster and then we proceeded to Battleship Westphalia. Fortunately, everything was fine and no presence of LN activity was reported.

Our next stop was the Frankfurt System. After we jumped to Frankfurt, we took the lane to Mannheim Station. When we were travelling in the trade lane, our scanners picked up a red contact at 14K distance. After the trade lane I ordered Flieger Hollweg to get on the lane and in the point where we found the contact to check the area west of him und Herr Reims to stay around Mannheim Station and check the incoming ships. I cruised and search the west part of the trade lane.

After some minutes I detected the red contact and the distance I had from it went below 10K so I was able to track down it's exact position and transmit it back to my 2 wingmates. Naturlich, I ordered them to immediately come in the coordinates I gave to them. I didn't know what was that vessel and my computer didn't have any information about it too. Judging from it's size I guessed it was a gunboat vessel, but I didn't have time to call for bomber support. I requested from the captain of this vessel to identify himself und the same time I started a scan analysis on it. The responce of the vessel was very confusing and unique... and that made me suspisious that it was a Wild vessel. After it's responce, the Wild vessel opened fire probably because it knew that my wingmates were coming.

I evaded most incoming fire and yelled in the radio to my wingmates to go faster; I didn't know the abilities of this large vessel. Fortunately they arrived in time, so I ordered them to circle the vessel and attack it primarily from behind. With a force consisted of 3 Wraiths, this tactic worked and steadily we inflicted severe damage to the vessel. Here is a photo from my guncam showing the Wild vessel.




The vessel's armour plates were very strong as it can be seen here.




Even though all our ships inflicted damage, we managed to take down the hostile vessel without losing any wingmate.




After the destruction of this vessel, I tractored all the important equipment and headed to Schatten where I handed them over to the MND and the researchers. Here's what I tractored.




There we had also some brief repairs und then we returned to New Berlin System where I released the fliegers from duty und I headed to Battleship Strausberg to write my report. Das ist all for now. Für Rheinland, für Kanzler !
