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.
Question about aircraft attack from carriers
-
See the following situation.
It’s the American turn in a G40 variant where the Germans are allied with the French.
My question is: can the American aircraft in SZ 91 attack the German ships in SZ 111? It’s three spaces away so the only spot for them to land is in SZ 110 on a carrier, but there is an enemy destroyer there that needs to be killed. Does that combat-depending factor make this move illegal?
Note that there is no friendly naval base in SZ 91 so the American ships cannot go to SZ 119.

No, as for the purpose of pointing out a legal landing space during combat move phase you may assume that all your shots are hits and all the enemies’ shots are misses. So as long as the enemy destroyer is under whatever attack, the US move is legal.

Yep…
