The Germans have no destroyer present, therefore the defending air units can not hit the sub, and of course the sub can never hit planes. Think of it in terms of the combined arms rule, air units can only hit subs if they are combined with at least 1 participating destroyer, the difference with this particular combined arms is that it works while attacking and defending. In the scenario that you described, the sub would destroy the remaining transport without rolling and the defending fighters can do nothing.
Three rules questions…

Sorry if this has been already covered on this forum, but I did’nt see it anywhere.
1. Can the USA aquire the pro-Allied neutral Brazil when the USA is still neutral itself?
2. Does USSR get 5 IPC’s for no Axis sub in SZ125(either when its neutral or not?).
3. When French territories are taken by the Axis and then later liberated by an ally, does that territory produce IPC’s for the liberating country or revert to French control?
Thanks! -
1. US and USSR have to be a war with euro axis to enter neutrals
2. USSR has to be at war with the euro axis to get the NO -
3. If Paris is still Axis-controlled, the IPC’s go to the liberating power. If France has been liberated its territories are returned to French control.
