Haven't watched it (I know I know...) . What is the context?

British guy and pirates are fighting. British guy (Cutler Beckett) made a deal to own Davy Jones’ ship (the one that pops out of the sea). The Flying Dutchman is a dead man’s ship, all crew are sea zombies cursed for eternity.

The British guy did not know that one of the crewmembers’ son (Orlando Bloom over there), killed Davy Jones, cut out his own heart, and committed himself to be the new captain for eternity, saving his dad, and freeing the Dutchman and her crew from the agreement with Beckett.

Beckett realizes Orlando Bloom is the new captain too late, both ships turn in, full broadside. End scene.

Why didnt the British fire at all?

Yeah both smaller ships with fewer guns put themselves in direct line of the maximum amount of British guns.

If that British ship wanted to 1v2 them in a slugging match that’s the best position it could hope for.

If they had fired it would have been a complete wipeout!

Not to mention that the two hero ships would have likely hit each other in this process.

The two smaller ships could have just continued forward and crossed the T on the larger British ship for an actual advantage.

Instead we’re presented with the situation where no British crew just proceeded to fire because that captain froze for some reason.
