USS Cisco, Balao class on second patrol, assigned to patrol Sea of Japan via La Perouse Strait.Found this way too easy to enter and be in.Does it get more difficult in late war? aware there are minefields but no patrols ?

You can get through about any strait near Japan without problems, usually without hitting a mine.

I put elite killer groups in most straits, increased minefield density, shoreguns and ASW air patrols.

I did spawn some subnets, but they can interfere with traffic should you be there and traffic spawns. It's just too hard to figure out all traffic coming through and correctly spawn and despawn subnets.

Right and right...Add air patrols same as ships, you can add air patrols to any file that has ships, convoys, TF, etc...As you noticed lurker has plane traffic added to subkiller file, battles, ect...

I've tried adding planes to ship groups so they would act as cap, but they fly low and usually crash. If they spot you they act more normal.
