Shipping lanes
 

I am looking for a map or something that has detailed shipping lanes for the japanese during WW2

Try this: http://www.valoratsea.com/cmbtcht.htm

question
 

Does anybody know if the stock patrol points are planned to place you on a shipping route?

Next obvious question, how far from that star point should we stray?:hmm: Jap groups aren't big, so ya gotta be dead on to locate any.
