I've been sailing somewhere between Midway (After sailing from Hawaii, refitting at Midway, and going to patrol the Marianas). My radar got something, I sailed towards it it was a New Zealander merchant, right when I established visual contact with him, my SD radar picked up another thing...
It was a Zero inbound from the north heading south and the merchant was sailing north (just less than one nautical mile from the Zero's course) and me I was southwards the merchant sailing north towards it, so the Zero came across the merchant first, bombed it twice, I tried to go ahead flank and try to push him away with my AA guns but I was too late, the fuel tank of the merchant already exploded
Anyway, when I got close to the sinking spot of the merchant I was able to see life rafts, but I couldn't rescue them (binoculars+space)
Which brings me to the question: Could I only rescue US downed pilots or any allied thing?
