Convoy Routes in Mediterranean and other things

Silent Hunter III, with Grey Wolf Mod final version

It states that there are Mediterranean convoys between various places, but there is no map of convoys in the Mediterranean. Is there any actual Silent Hunter 3 maps out there for this? And is the map supplied for the Atlantic Ocean actually accurate with GWX?

Something I find is I never see any ships on the way to America so far in Operation Drumbeat and beyond. I try to follow the lanes in the map, but it is hard to get it accurately. Regardless, I have not seen anything.

So, I wonder, do you pros use any map specifically besides the default map? And again, are there any Mediterranean maps, or maps for the Far East if I ever decide doing that. (And finally, for the more Arctic convoys?)

---

Off-topic, but does GWX simulate the transportation of troops and supplies for major offences? For example, lets say Malta. Do the convoys actually go all the way from Britain to Malta? Or do they just appear somewhere else.

Another example, for eventual invasion of Occupied France. Does GWX or Silent Hunter 3 simulate all of the supplies and troops and equipment that had to be transported for this purpose?

Just how accurate did they go in GWX for realistic shipping and times. (One question I asked before, is for example do they have SS Athenia simulated? Do they have the various Ocean Liners that transported troops simulated completely accurately?

Something I see is the Chatham - Type Troop ship. Seen it twice now. Historically it was sunk in August 1942, and that date is coming up. If it was realistic, after this date it should stop appearing in convoys shouldnt it? Will it?

I read in the GWX manual that ocean liners are for neutral countries only. But how can this be? Is there a chance that I might run into the Queen Elizabeth or other such ocean liners during wartime? AS they transported troops
