If anything, it is too easy to get in and out of a port with TMO 2.5... maybe this is related to early war conditions?

RSRD operates differently than other mods.RSRD does not spawn generic random convoys, the convoys represent real life convoys(lurker took the info from a book listing IJN convoys) times, dates, and routes are prob about 95% accurate, which is cool.Thing is, convoys are not spawning at a rapid rate.Less convoys in early war and in some areas no convoys.The maps publishing usually are not that helpful.What I did was look at logical convoy routes then opened the camapaign traffic via the mission editor which showed the routes. Open the mission editor..open up RSRD/campaign and find the appropriate convoy year, itll show you the routes.Plenty of convoys in RSRD.
