@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.
SBR doubt
-
Germany want to do a SBR with two fighters. London will defend with 3 fighters. Imagine that the British AAgun loses all 3 hits. Then, the 3 british fighters score 3 hits, one per fighter. If there’re only 2 attacking fighters and the bomber, what will happen to the bomber? Is it hit? If so, can it counterattack the fighters or can it do the SBR and then be put back into the tray?
Thanks.

The bomber has to survive all fire (AA and fighter defense) before it can SBR. As far as I remember, the bomber does not defend itself against SBR fighter defense. That why you bring fighter escort in the first place.
-
Ghoul is quite right. All escorts and the bomber would be lost, and only the attackers escorts would get to fire back at the defending planes.
-
Huh? What? You bring in fighters for a SBR??? Defending fighters shoot at the attacker making the SBR??? What rules are these?
