@The_Good_Captain The rule applies in all sea battles where there are sea units allied to the attacker present, regardless of the type(s) of defending German sea units. The rule mentions only German subs because the author failed to take into account the possibility that the situation could also exist with German surface units if they were mobilized in a hostile sea zone. This oversight was corrected in the Axis & Allies Pacific Rulebook.
Air vs Navy Question

Hi
My question is : If 2 subs and 1 AC are in a SZ, and i attack them with 1 Ftr and 1 Bmb and get 1 hit. Can the subs be taken as casualties, or it must be the AC ? Since there is no DD attacking, it is like if there was only an AC in the SZ, right?
Its a bit confusing, id like to know the exact rule :-D
Thx

The subs MAY be taken as casualties. The question is - would you wish to. You may opt to lose the AC and submerge/retreat the subs, or you may give up a sub and see how your AC can make out.
AFAIR - it’s been a while. -
Ok thanx, its good to know.

mantlefan is correct.
A&A:Europe subs cannot take hits from airplanes unless the attacking units have destroyer with them.
So attacking AC & 2 subs is really good option, for taking 18ipc boat down and having 50/50 of not losing a plane.
