Things to Do in an IXD/2
It's early June 1943 and U-181 has just finished taking her cargo of supplies to an IJN facility in Thailand. COMSUBPAC(!) has no orders for me at this point in time, so I'm debating a quick refueling stop in Penang and then heading into the Indian Ocean to make a nuisance of myself for a while.
My question is this: Where do I go? I presume the Gulf of Aden is a natural chokepoint that might benefit from a U-boat's presence, but I'd rather go where the historical areas were. A brief look at uboat.net's map of the area suggests that the eastern coast of Africa might be more relevant, but that's a WAG. Note: This is the stock campaign, more or less so I can learn the ropes of operating a U-boat in the SHIV environment. The next big thing I'll probably do is a second installation of v1.5 in order to have a strictly Monsun installation while leaving the original stock campaign for the USN fleet boats---how do you go about that?

Lurk around ports
I doubt that the stock game has much, but you could find out by hanging around or even entering major ports.
If there is nothing around a major port, you are almost sure there won't be good hunting in the open. I was unhappy with the stock campaign that had no further missions after you reach the Pacific. |

Ubi Ubi wherfor art thou?
I think the empty Pacific is just a sign of Ubisoft counting on the modding community to finish the job for them. Sad really.
