Yes.

If you've looked at RSRDC's Truk Island ship route terminal ending, you'll see many times they end outside the coral reef's. The trouble is trying to navigate the few "gateways" between the reef to enter the harbor without running aground; or running into another AI ship that's either coming in, or going out the same passage. If you've already looked at Truk and fiddled with the waypoints/reef obstacles, then I won't need to do them......or any other you chose to look at. Thanks!

Looking at a couple of Campaign ship routes.....here's what I mean:



The ship route the mouse cursor is pointing to MAY not run aground as it passes the nearby island mass. The same route further along.......I don't think so! Lucky it's near the terminal end of this merchants route



Same with the Task Force that's making a route through the Jap Islands in early 1943.......not going to make it plowing through this smaller island.
