Where can i raid?

This might seem like a odd question but, sometimes i just want to be destructive and have some blockbuster fun.

I've recently installed a few mods that make scertain surface ships playable. Sometimes, i just love to use a destroyer as a "raider", that is, wreaking havoc among defenseless merchant ships. Like a pirate more or less.

So my question is, which locations, routes or harbours has more abundance of lightly defended ships who i can harass with impunity? And when?

I have mostly played SH3 and a little SH5, and i'm almost completely new to SH4, so i haven't really experienced and learned the conditions and geography of the game that much yet.

Try Tokyo harbor. You'll probably find a few ships worth sinking on the way in, and there are four or five different ports within spitting distance of each other. Plenty of possibilities.

If your really bold than try Truk. Theres lots of big boys in there!

Thanks for the advice, i'll try them out. Btw which files can i modify to increase deck gun ammo?

Much depends if you're using stock or mods, as I recall stock doesn't have Truk and several other nice ports.

Yup, the enemy gunners aren't that accurate in stock either. They won't leave their berths, but they'll fire on you within a certain range nevertheless. With the mods, they tend to be much more accurate and at greater ranges.
