You do get reports and with any luck, you are around to attempt a intercept. Rest assured, the ships are there to sink. Just have to find them. A successful patrol is bagging 2-3 vessels. Do this over a course of 5-6 patrols and you will move up to new construction. Most importantly, complete the assigned patrol area. I will not say that RSRD will frustrate you. It will...just as frustrated as the skipper and crews who patrolled for days and had nothing to show for it. Then, out of nowhere, your watch sees a vessel or vessels and all hell breaks loose.

On the contrary, I don't feel frustrated, I like the realism. It would become quite boring if targets were constantly popping up. The hunt is what keeps things interesting. And, I agree with you Warhawk, that the anticipation makes the sinkings more fulfilling. I
am having good luck finding the merchants, I'm just not finding them very challenging anymore, as most of them I have run accross are without escorts and my targeting has become quite superb (if I may say so
). That is why I'm hoping to run into some IJN units to get my heartbeat up a bit.
