That is a PtV question and you should make sure with the designers of PtV, But the PtV rules follow the regular rules except as specified.
I think the answer is yes, because there is no requirement that the fighters can make any difference in the battle they scramble to (page 16, Europe manual). If those carriers are sunk, the fighters have a chance to move 1 space to friendly land or an undamaged allied carrier. (page 16)
However, even though the rules have no stated requirement that the fighters have to make a difference (that is, can’t be scrambled against sub only when you have no destroyer), Krieghund sometimes surprises me on questions like this. I think I’m a 90%+ accurate answer but if you want 100% you have to go to the Q&A thread. Even though the regular rules don’t provide for carrier scrambles, the same question applies. I think the heart of your question is whether planes can scramble to defend

against subs where the planes will make no difference, and that question is relevant to the regular game as well.

So you won’t need PtV guys I don’t think. If you don’t want my “quite sure” answer, go here and ask Krieghund if you can scramble to an attack by subs only where you have no defending destroyers.

@Private-Panic Given that I would be coming from SFO, it’s probably overall faster to fly to LHR.

Hi Trout,

Concerning Weapons Developement (aka Technological Breakthrough), we considered several options during the developement of the G40 HRE.

These were some of our considerations:

Each dice roll costs 10 IPC. For each “6” you get a Technological Breakthrough. For each Technological Breakthrough roll one dice to determine which unit or rule your Nation gets.

Same as above - but Weapons Developement may not begin until Early 1943.

Same as above (1 + 2) but each dice roll costs 5 IPC.

To simplify the issue concerning Weapons Developement rules we just kept them as they are in the OOB - but Weapons Developement cannot begin until Early 1943.
The reason is that according to History, by Early 1943 all major Powers - especially Germany, United States and the Soviet Union - went All In with Weapons Developement in order to get the Upper Hand.

Instead of changing the OOB Weapons Developement rules further, we decided to give each Nation access to the weapons that they already developed and produced during the War.
In the G40 HRE these weapons are now purchasable for the Nation that produced them - and in the numbers that they were produced (as Historically accurate as game play allows).

The Historical Timeline is (as Historically accurate as game play allows) kept in the G40 HRE concerning these specialized weapons that each Nation can purchase.

Our game experience shows that most players do not use the Weapons Developement.

The explanations might be:
The IPC are more needed for units production rather than research. Since most Nations can purchase specialized units - such as Super Heavy Battleship units, Heavy Bomber units, German U-Boat units & Wolf Pack rule etc. the OOB Weapons Developement are redundant. Winning Conditions: the G40 HRE Winning Conditions are more flexible than the OOB version - hence the absence of interest in Weapons Developement.

@Private-Panic You’ve rolled well on gas for several turns, 4 for 4. And the rest of your units rolled as expected on round one. It’s just that defenders rolled slightly better. And you were short on grunts for cannon fodder, er, patriotic volunteers.
