Some of my initial impressions of AOD and SH1 are:
(1) There is way too much Japanese shipping in SH1. In AOD, you have to patrol. In SH1, you are hard pressed not to run into the enemy.

Even allowing for coast watchers, there are too many contacts in SH1. I
deal with it by deciding on an overall strategic goal for the patrol. It might
be going into all the ports and doing a depth sounding to verify the charts, or mapping harbour bouys. Something along those lines. Once in the patrol area I start to work on the strategic goals. I don't change course to
chase down a contact unless the crew spots the ships. Occasionally, if there is a warship contact nearby I'll throw the crew an "Ultra" contact and
let them chase it down. Only for the larger ships though and never more
than once per patrol.
