Scrambelst Du in SZ109 und/oder in SZ110, und falls ja, wie jeweils genau?

Well, it was a shocking revelation. I am not sure how this should be solved, but it is against the game’s philosophy of not sending planes into certain death.
I don’t particularly like the rule, but is the rule and certainly not cheating to abide by it. It does, though, underscores a moral dilemma: Do you send 1 air crew and 1 sub crew to their deaths for the opportunity to win the war and save the lives of million or not? If I had to make the decision as a real military leader, it would haunt me to sacrifice a good pilot and sub crew (and that of 10 defenseless transports), but for the sake of the general good, I’d have to order the mission. (Thankfully, as an army officer, I never had to make such a decision.) As a part of a game, the decision carries little burden.

If the game developers don’t change it, you can call it out at the beginning of any game, agreeing with your opponent to not use it. Other than that, you should simply defend against it.
That is the other thing and we can go into philosophy here as well. From the utilitarian point of view, you are right, but I am not a utilitarian, so here I don’t agree with you. Speaking of morality, I highly recommend this Harvard course, it’s great and free and touches things you are speaking about:

From the game point of view, it does not make sense - as one of the first things I remembered playing A&A is that you can not send planes to certain death. And this “rule” you have played by (or oversee by the authors) is exactly that.
@artofwar1947 No.
@artofwar1947 It seems again one of those rules. It is asking for a kamikaze attack on the seazone 36, where I already had all those ships.
So, let me know if you want to send some pilots there.
By virtue of the amphibious assault on Manilla, the US is conducting an offensive operation in in SZ 36. It does not matter whether the ships were there already or moved in this turn.
1 Kamikaze on the US Cruiser.
Scramble 2 fighters and tac to Kiangsi.
the kamikaze was supposed to attack the US CA (cruiser), not a CV (carrier).
@artofwar1947 Hm, not sure why I read carrier. It missed in any case, I would have edit it otherwise if it hit.
@artofwar1947 I think you uploaded the old savegame.
