Location of Convoys early 1942

Evening mates! Can someone pls point out areas to look for merchants in early 1942? I've been around the Solomon Islands, S. China Sea, and Philippines.

The convoy map I found shows the heavy traffic after 1943.

Thanks!

Makassar Strait is one of my favorite spots. Not a lot of convoys, but a decent number of single Marus passing through the chokepoint.

1942 can be tough. Best to find productive points and work them to death. 1942 is not particularly exciting for a Pearl Harbor boat. Better to be in the Asiatic fleet then. For a new player it's breathing space to learn good boat handling. For a vet, it can get a bit tedious.
