Default Strange encounter in FotRSU! (but cool!)

Late 1942, I'm in the middle of the Philippine Sea when I get a radar contact....it's stationary, so I go check it out. I get closer and it's an H8K, just sitting motionless on the surface. I get closer, it doesn't move or react to my sub so I do what any good sailor would do and fire a few rounds from my deck gun into it, it catches on fire and I sail off into the blue. Just never seen a random plane just floating in the middle of the ocean.

maybe she was out of breath and landed to catch her wind.

Honestly, it was pretty cool to treat it like a real sub would, search it for intel/info, then sink the bastard. Done and done.
