Ship Traffic

I'm new to SH4 as I recently re installed it and trying to get the hang of it. I've got the 1.4 patch plus latest TM and RSRD mods and nothing else enabled. Game runs/plays well no CTD's, no complaints, etc.

This is not a gripe, I merely want to understand if I've got the mods installed properly.

Currently in a test career patrol Mid January 1942 area of Celebese Sea/Makassar Straights. There is absolutely no traffic anywhere. One French merch and one US merch early on in patrol then nothing. Weeks of patrolling and nothing but a couple Jap Zero's.

This is the second career patrol I've run in the Celebese/Makassar area to test the gameplay so to speak and have run into exactly the same thing-no enemy shipping merchant or warship. I only run high TC to get to the general assigned area. Once there, nothing beyond 256.

Tried a different area same time frame Jan 1942 east coast off Hokkaido Island ran up and down for weeks surfaced no shipping and no air patrols. Submerged no contacts at all, inshore and offshore.

I somehow find it hard to believe that given the time frame and the supposed historical flurry of activity there should be some enemy presence out there. Has anyone else run into this. What should I expect?
