Moving to Penang

This is only a rough map but it gives you an idea where to look.

Over the months I have been working out where to look and what is on that route, as I said it's only a rough idea. One thing is for sure less Allied Planes to bug you but be warned they can pop up anywhere. In the case of the red air circles I came up against more planes in those areas.

Blue Arrow = Merchants
Dark Red Arrow = Task Force
Red Circle = Allied Aircraft

Wow! This is very nice of you mate! I never find anything down under, so this is needed for sure!

I've been to penang before and your pretty right about your map. I purposefully go to southern india/sri lanka to shot down the planes.They come every 2 hours or so. Anyway have you checked out the water east of india? There are some single merchants there also.

Some not many, true to say it you stay close to the shore lines you will see the odd one or two now and again. By the way not much North east by east of Australia, you may be lucky to run in to an American sub but there are few and far between.

Now I remember that you can find some BIG tankers in the Red Sea at times. No DDs either (unless you go north to Suez ofcourse, and that's one thing I'll NEVER do......again....)
