[TMO] Where is everyone?

I've had a great patrol from 1941 to 1942 playing TMO with over 54K Tons sent to the bottom that year. Had it not been for my daring raid on Yokahama port and the sinking of the 34K Ton Kongo BB moored there it would have been slim pickin's. In fact, I noticed rather lean hunting even in Japanese waters, much of my kills were mere fishing trawlers. But after Jan 2, 1942 and up until today (June 24, 1942) I've not seen ONE ship of any sort and only a handful of planes. That's 6 months at sea! I've refueled at Midway and again a few days ago in Fremantle. Either I'm bugged, or their fleet is all focused elsewhere. I miss the convoy reports. I have literally spent the last 3 nights in Time Compression looking for contacts. The only clue from HQ was back in May when the Coral Sea was buzzing with enemies. I was too far away to make it. But still, I'm in the China Sea and the Philippines for cryin' out loud!

What gives? I'm gonna need fuel again, and waste another month before I can get back to these hunting grounds...

edit: Oh, and I've completed 4 or 5 patrols in areas assigned by HQ this month... (Abandon, D4, Convoy College [twice]) Wouldn't HQ send me where the juicy bits are if I was close?
