Maybe I've done too many careers out of Brisbane and I know where to go to find the juicy targets around the Solomons and Rabaul, but shouldn't there be more Japanese resistance in those areas, specifically around Rabaul early in the war? I've done many careers out of Brisbane in late 42/early 43 and the Bismarck Sea becomes my own personal playground where I could rack up 40k+ a patrol if I engaged every tanker or passenger liner with little to no protection I came across.
Just seems like Rabaul should be a bigger threat until spring/summer of 43 at least.
