So here we are, we see a Maru and torpedo it, it begins to sink and in it's deathroll several hundred are drowned not even mentioning those oblitereated by the two fish that detonated inside the hull..
Your intent is to interdict the Japanese supplies, manpowr, and war goods/materials from being used to kill our soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
As the boat snks she draws several dozen more to their deaths but some manage to get onto a few lifeboats, floating rafts, odd peices of debris...
Now remember you just killed several hundred within the confines of the second paragraphs objectives.
You surface your boat and promptly see that an entire cadre of enemy army officers are in a boat and they are insuring their survival by not allowing others aboard. Japanese ariistocracy at it's worst.
You realize that your orders require you to move 75 miles north to a Lifestation position and these folks in the water around your boat will be picked up by fellow Japanese within an hour or so as a major task force is moving down the slot....
Do you sink the smaller enemy vessels and further damage the enemies war efforts? Do you sail on hoping you cousin won't get shot by these troops you leave to fight another day? Do you order your most hardened crew members on deck, man the MG's and Cannon and do your best to sink the remainder?
Mush made his decision.... What is yours?
Come you high and mighty, what the hell do you play this game for if your so holy?
So what is you pleasure .50, .30, .45... Or artilllery ?
War is hell and we call upon our troops to participate in it..... If you play you want to "make the other bastard die for his country.." If you try to be the white knight you'll probably end up dead or get your buddies killed instead..
