japanese Singapore shipping lanes

Tozzifan · 12-31-11, 04:02 AM

Hi,
I'm on the first assignment of the campaign: after completing the first tasks, now I'm assigned for hunting in the japanese-singapore lanes

I downloaded a few route charts from the forum, and now I'm parked in the Luzon strait, in wait

my question is: on the SH4 plotting map, there is no location to go to for the task, so, thinking to go into the South China Sea (also to get nearer to base ... I'm starting to be low on fuel), I wonder whether mission conditions will be met there or not

thanks

Head to the southern ingress of the Formosa Strait.

We eagerly await your arrival.

Sorry to necro this ancient thread, but where EXACTLY at the southern point of the Formosa Strait do I need to be? I'm playing this objective now, and the pictures in the above post are gone. Thanks!!

You might like to look at this:
Japanese Convoy Routes 1943-1945

Page 6 is a pretty good map; pages 3 - 5 list routes by number and dates they were abandoned. Note: one typo: index shows two route 3s, the Moji to Takao is actually route 31, an easy fix.

Thanks, but I should have clarified. I'm trying to find out where the objective zone is. I've been sailing around the south side of the strait for more than 72 hours (I was told to remain on station for that long), but I've never gotten the completed message.

I generally use my compass tool to put a 50nm radius circle on my map and stay there, but since there's no objective icon, I don't know where my patrol zone actually is.

Von Zelda, I wanted to look at this, but it seems you need to be a member of that site. any other places to see it?
