Etiquette for optional rules vary from group to group, but the rulebook says that they may be used “if all players agree”.
Just to be clear, this is only an optional rule in Classic. In Revised, it’s a standard rule.

Quicky here: US FTR lands on UK carrier- rules say it is treated as “cargo” Does this entail all the following
If the carrier is attacked by Germany on Germany’s go, the FTR does not contribute to the fight
If the carrier is attacked by Germany on Germany’s go. the FTR cannot be used to soak a hit
If the UK carrier attacks Germany on UK’s go, the FTR cannot be used to soak a hit
Thanks,

Incorrect.

Incorrect.

Correct.
Basically, units fight normally when it’s their turn or when they’re attacked. The US fighter will fight on the US’ turn and when the sea zone is attacked by an Axis power.
On the UK’s turn, it’s inert. It cannot fire or be taken as a casualty. If the carrier it’s on is lost, it’s also lost.
Thanks Krieghund, that’s most helpful…
