If you can't find targets, you're in the wrong ocean...

1) Try selecting Penang and they will assign you missions traversing the Indian Ocean. In fact there are so many targets it almost gets irritating. Look to the northwest coast of Australia and around India. If you choose Penang you'll get assigned patrol locations off of Eastern African coast. India, the Arabian Sea area, there are targets everywhere.

2) If you want to hunt for targets in and around Indonesia then you need to be looking in the following seas: Celebes, Flores, Banda and don't forget to click on your friendly airbases to send out scout planes to help you find those targets! You won't find much allied shipping in the South China, Sulu or Jawa Seas.

Focus your attention on the Indian Ocean and leave Japan to the US Fleetboats.

You can hunt US Battleships off the coast of Sumatra all day (I got a Colorado on my first Indian Ocean patrol, I clocked em at 16.7kts) there's always a task force lurking in that area.
