As it should be. It is just exploiting the absurdities of turn based combat. There is no logical reason why this should work. Just because you are in a tractor beam doesn't mean you can't fire your weapons. Pretty much every sci fi universe with tractor beams has plenty of examples of the tractored ship still firing its weapons, especially at the tractor beam emmitters. Assuming it is a case where the tractored ship is still more or less functional, of course.
