This big airplane flies alone in the map, reports with its radio all units it encounters and can attack your submarine with its gun and with its depth charges.
It flies and attacks only during day, at sunset it returns at its airport (out of the map), so during night you should not meet it…
With its radar it is able to detect your submarine at periscope depth (when your periscope is raised) and it will try to attack you using its gun and dropping its 8 depth charges, so it is advisable to destroy it fastly (with your AA-gun) or dive at big depths.
