Ain't no fish in this lake...

This is my first patrol with RSRDC, and I am getting an uneasy feeling that all is not well. The problem is a lack of activity.

We've been at sea for a month, and have not seen any evidence of ships out here.
I have completed two 4-day patrol objectives near the Rykyus and off the Bungo Suido, and am en route to a third. In the entire time, I have not had a single visual or acoustic contact. I have seen a few air patrols, and the aircraft are definitely aware there is a war on.

The sonar gear works. I do get normal acoustic contacts in the vicinity of Pearl or Midway, all friendlies. Also I I did do a time-compressed run into Naha and got a couple of harbor contacts there --- a probable escort and possible fish boat.

Maybe there was very little shipping in my current area in early 1942, but can someone verify that these quiet seas are what I should expect for this time and region? I think I have another two weeks of patrolling plus two weeks transit time before we run out of food.

My mod stack is this:
Trigger Maru 1.9
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5XX Patch 1
SAP v0.5 stock RFB-RSRDC (Ship acceleration Physics
SAP v0.3_Stock RFB-RSRDC patch 1
