No.
Fuel is life, and should be conserved whenever possible.
Reasons to conserve fuel:
- Incase you have to do a high speed dash to run away from something.
- Incase you have to do a high speed dash to intercept something.
- Incase your fuel bunkers are damaged for whatever reason. (this has happned to me before)
-Lastly, and most importantly, to make sure you can get home.
More then once, ive sputtered into lorient harbor, with the CE saying the fuel reserves are empty, and the NA estimating we can go 400 KM on what diesal fumes remain.
