Rather, I actually want to praise you the most for the operation before, Prinz.

...Was? Am I hearing it wrong?

Your experimental formation managed to break through the enemy's final defence lines. The result was highly satisfactory.

B, but... I still let Souryuu in the back get moderately damaged...

By that point you'd already suppressed the enemy air units. Besides, getting hurt is common practice on the field.

Furthermore, it was thanks to your ability to watch the surroundings

that you could notice the enemy and save Souryuu from any more harm, don't you think?

At least have a little more faith. Depreciating yourself too much is not a very good attitude.
