Destroyers delay the removal of sub casualties, allowing them to fire back in their normal step even if they are hit by a sub. However, both attacking and defending subs always fire in the Opening Fire step, so a defending sub will return fire even if it is hit, regardless of the presence of destroyers. This is because fire within a step is simultaneous. In effect, the presence of a destroyer only affects the ability of surface vessels to return fire when hit by subs.
Fighters and subs

Hi!
I know that subs cant shoot down fighters, but can fighters shoot subs?
Can bombers attack subs?
Is a detroyer needed?
/Thx

Both types of airplanes can shoot at subs no matter where naval forces are. However, any surviving subs can fill their tanks (dive) and avoid the airplanes after the first round.

And this is different from other games such as A&A Pacific where you DO need a DST present to attack a SUB.

although destroyers are nice to be able to prevent them from submerrging.

And on the down side the sub can shoot the Destroyers and when the plane and destroyer both miss and the sub doesn’t the sub can still submerge.
