@picard:
I am unclear about sub vs carrier. In this case I want to know 1 sub vs 1 carrier with fighters….
If a sub attacks a lone aircraft carrier with planes aboard what happens? The sub can’t shoot at planes and the planes can’t shoot at the sub. So any shot fired by the sub must be taken by the carrier? and if it hits on the sneak attack what happens to those planes? Are they considered flying and so can’t land or are on deck and so can’t take off?
Can some one help me with this senario
Any shot must be taken by the carrier, and the planes are considered to be in the air.
The only time that a plane is treated as cargo and not in the air is if it’s a friendly plane on an allied carrier and the ally is performing a combat move with the carrier. In that instance, if the carrier takes a hit, the plane will be trapped on board. that is the ONLY way to trap a plane on board a carrier. On defense, all aircraft are considered in the air, effectly performing CAP (combat air patrol) duties and need the carrier for a landing space for “refueling”, but were already in the air when the sub showed up.
