Sub vs. Battleship

@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.

When attacked, can submarines submerge immediately or do they have to survive one round of fire from attackers?
They have to withstand at least one round of fire. Otherwise they would be practically indestructable.

Hope that helps. :-) If the official FAQ doesn’t do it I don’t know what will.

mantlefan is correct.

A&A:Europe subs cannot take hits from airplanes unless the attacking units have destroyer with them.

So attacking AC & 2 subs is really good option, for taking 18ipc boat down and having 50/50 of not losing a plane.

It is dead then.

After you submerge your subs, they have to be resurfaced at the end of your turn. Now if there are enemy ships in the zone, on their turn they can either engage or simply move. Kinda of like when you build new naval units. You can place them in an occupied sea zone, then on your opponents turn, He can attack or move away.

The rule book answers that question. Subs can be sunk at any time they just chose to run instead of fight back after being fired upon

Yes, a sub moving through a convoy zone is like a tank blitzing an open territory and then into a battle.
Ya know what I’m saying?
