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.
Dumb sub question….
-
One fighter and one Dest. attack one sub.
Both attack rolls miss
Defend roll hits and kills Dest.
Since Dest. is now dead, Sub can submerge and combat ends, right?
Got into an arguement, and would like third party feedback….
-
Ftr can’t hit sub without destroyer, so combat ends
