Problem is, even setting up outside a port that should be active will yield no targets most times in RSRD. That really is not realistic. A good sized port with zero traffic in or out, is counter intuitive unless your presence is already known. And even then, your targets would likely be ASW units.

Not really. With RSRD almost every group spawns at port and despawns at port. I think what's confusing many is that certain historic ports saw bulk of traffic at different times. Another issue, RSRD spawns at many ports that aren't on the map. Again, with RSRD the convoy system containing larger convoys didn't start until later war.
