For me, it would depen on how easy a shot would it be to hit the nelson with three torps.

To get the Nelson would mean perhaps two more peeks in the scope and letting the tanker go past.
Then maybe a clear shot.
My major worry was crossing the columns and not getting rammed by some stupid merchant.
I went for the "bird in hand" attack.

Then it was the right thing to do. Better a merchant than nothing at all.

It's a rather difficult question for me to answer. What it boils down to (for any ship) is a bunch of factors. What side am I on, at what angle? How far apart are the ships spaced? Where is the ship in relation to other potential targets, especially the escorts? Is the weather bad enough so that steamers can be used?

In ideal conditions, these are my targets in order of priority.

1 - Carriers (fleet and escort - each deck gone means less planes in the air to threaten my allies)
2 - Battleships, Battlecruisers
3 - Cruisers
4 - Troopships, Tankers
5 - Cargo ships
6 - Escorts
