You have to use some logic when determining where the ships are likely to be in your patrol zone. Some of the more fruitful ones are:
  • Chokepoints
  • Approaches to major ports (i.e., Truk, Rabaul)
  • Near the coastlines
In addition, do download the map image posted up above. It gives a good idea of where the ships are in RSRDC. In my latest patrol (July - August 1943) I picked off 4 single merchants traveling in the vicinity of the Marshall Islands. You've just gotta know where to look for them.
