@The:
PS: Has anyone actually destroyed one of these buggers while on a transport?
I have seen AA guns intentionally destroyed in this fashion to keep them from falling into enemy hands
Let’s say there is a German sub in SZ6, along w/a German cruiser. And I want to attack SZ6 w/a British battleship, bomber and 1 FTR. Can the German sub submerse before the British battleship gets a chance to fire on it if the German player so choses?
Yes, before any of the UK units fire.
Also note that your british fighters dont get to shoot at the german sub at all, as you are not bringing a destroyer along with you.
