But where do you find information about where the ships are ?
Inside the game I looked at the map that shows commercial routes, and I have been around those several hours and I didnt see any ship except one Sampan in three patrols

The mod is great but I play the game to have fun. Spending several patrols and hours just looking for ships, after a few hours of gameplay it's no fun at all, I just bored myself to death.

I guess this mod is not for me. It looks good, it adds a lot of good things especially the buttons for weather and such, but I am not very interested in stuyding history in detail just to find ships. I just wanna spend 2, 3 hours to play and not 10 minutes of gameplay hunting a ship or convoy over a 3 hours game session (I am more on the side of the game albeit not arcade type than the ubber simulation). I just wanna be on my boat, go around and find some ships and not have to search for historic details to know where to go. While I can accept this if I want to participate in big naval battles, for simple commercial convoys it's not very interesting to me (where's the fun in going where I know something is going to happen and what I'm going to find there ? I want to find a ship or convoy by surprise, and have to shadow it until I can attack... To carefully plan how and when I'm going to attack and then evade the destroyers).

It's sad. I'm gonna have to play without the mod to have fun, and I liked the mod for all the good things it provided. But clearly I'm having no fun with it spending hours going around without finding anything and I am not really interested in pre-planning that would just ruin the fun of finding something.
