@mateooo:
quick question, probably an obvious answer
SS attacks AC 2 FTR
sub hits in the first strike round, and kills the AC
do the fighters get to strike back?
Im sure the answer is yes, but I would think it makes more sense to say no
that sub attacks before anyone knows its there. those fighters dont get a chance to take off… in real life.
of course it does take a little while for a carrier to sink…
Since there is no DD present, the carrier is sunk in opening fire.
According to LHTR, subs can submerge AFTER any round of battle as long as no enemy DD is present. This implies the ftrs do indeed get to fire upon the sub.
Of course, you could also w/d after the round of battle if the sub survived as well (instead of submerge)

Other variant rules allow your more realistic observation of a true sneak attack, like A&ARe (Enhanced)…
sorry shameless plug there :mrgreen:
