Crew Members on transports and survivors in the water, just in case you want to shoot them, which was done from time to time with no repurcussions to the American Sub Captains.
If you would read about Wahoo's January patrol, see pp. 380-385, Blair's SILENT VICTORY.

Regarded a WAR CRIME by many and no different than what KL Eck accomplished. Still, we'll never know if repercussions would have happened or criminal charges placed, since Mush Morton 'bought the farm', himself.

The "Laconia Incident" is another example of perceived WAR CRIMES by many, where Allied aircraft bombs non-combatant survivors of a U-Boat sinking while the same U-Boat is trying to rescue them. (Bring on the lawyers!)

...mass murder...do you really want to experience those 'feelings' of power over the powerless as an option in a game?
