RFB+RSRD Shipping Map

Spike88 · 12-14-11, 11:00 AM

I've been using the stock SH4 map for RFB+RSRD, and I was wondering why the traffic in the KI strait was rather low, when according to the map there should be traffic coming out of it.

I just found this map for TMO+RSRD:

It clearly has no traffic coming out of the Kii channel.

My question is, can I hold this map to be accurate for RFB+RSRD? Or is the RSRD version of RFB different? Do I need to look around for a RFB+RSRD map?

Why should there be a regular convoy between Palau and Guam? Were they supplied in steps, I mean, the same convoy would go to one destination to deliver some supplies, and then directly to another destination before returning?

I understand merchants traveling between several different resource sources, but Palau and Guam were only military bases, so I should imagine they having their own island-homeland convoy.

I would think the campaign traffic in RSRD remains the same regardless of supermod used over. The different vers for TMO and RFB refect other changes, shouldn't reflect traffic at all, so that map should work fine. However, it certainly doesn't reflect where other convoys will travel, just the main shipping lanes, convoys in RSRD do travel outside those shipping lanes.

The map also doesn't reflect TF movement, battles or the many large invasion groups of merchants, usually consisting of 30-60 merchants. Also the shipping lanes get better or worse as the war progresses, but the Borneo/Palawan lane is great in 44, as is Formosa.

Take these two maps, having studied RSRD, I've found all the groups in both maps exist, using correct dates, course, etc....These two maps reflect early war as Japan went south, one is TF, the other is more invasion forces, but they're all in RSRD.
