1 No...

2 No...

it all depends though.. if this was your first opportunity to watch a BB go down to the bottom because you put the torpedoes in the right place, you should've done it.

but if you've had that satisfaction before, then I'd have done what you did... although it's a nailbiting decision not to push that firing button when you have a perfect solution....

A German captain should/will be strong enough to hold back his urges! If you are ordered to do so (being realistic) do it, if not, then don't! Simple as that!

But if you had a reason to sink those ships, perhaps if they "fired upon" you while you did not fire a single shot, call that retaliation
