Well, so according to you, saving the M3 was only an extra risk, and so it was acceptable to save them by Nishizumi's rules? Hmm, don't remember you pointing out how Nishizumi that action was last week...
Fine. In that case, saving the crew was also only an extra risk. In fact, a much lower risk. As you say, the enemy is right in front. The gunner shouldn't need the commander's assistance to see them. The gunner and loader could have completed the engagement cycle by themselves. It is reasonable to assume they can at least be motivated to save their own butts. The risk was minimal to nil. By your logic, it should be most acceptable.
And yet, we know of Mother and Erika's wonderful reaction to both. 'Nuff said.
