I'm still using the stock game, and have had plenty of action. I get tons of convoy and task force updates, most are too far. But some I can try to predict where they will be in the future using ruler etc and get there in time, and they are loaded. At first, I went after the larger convoys, but I found smaller convoys have less merchants, but they are much bigger vessels.

After I do my 48 hrs in my patrol zone, I'll go into the shipping lanes illustrated in the map that came with the game. That zone south of Japan, east of the East China Sea has been a gold mine. Cruising through there for a while I come across patrols and ships right and left, many with escorts. And taks forces show up regularly in that area it seems, doesn't get much funner than those.
