And i get only missions near tokyo!!!

In the stock game a good place to look is near Rabaul. They usually enter from the north channel. But you may have to let several convoys pass by if you really want to wait for a Task Force.

You can find big fat battle ships to sink and kill, just enter inside Tokyo Bay the major problem you have to watchout for destoyers and light cruiser types waiting for you outside near Tokyo Bay, because the destoyers and light cruiser knows your inside Tokyo Bay you have to get out alive from Tokyo Bay.

For another words you are facing a one way ticket is death, if you can get out of Tokyo Bay alive playing 100% real then you are a real skipper of your very own submarine 'May the Sinking Flat Top be with you'.

You will also find them at times in large task forces. Even though it was the job of the Skippers to take out merchants predominantly, you can have fun taking on a task force. The concept of wolf packs are not in this game but it would be fun to have AI co-op to operate with 2 other boats while setting up an attack on a convoy. Maybe SH-5 will employ this I hope.

I did sink a Kongo BB in my first patrol with an old S lady, I was based on manila and was sent to patrol whatever is the name of the strait or pass up north of Aparri, then a task force came right to me, just waited, maneuvered when IDed the ships, picked my target, waited again and fired. 4 hits and she went to hell. I was lucky tho, the escorts went to check something and left the BB's all alone. There I got the hhang of the PK, now I can handle it more decently at 100% realism.

Also there is a lot of task force traffic early in the war traveling from Formosa - I think - to Singapore.

Load RSRD and learn your history. You'll find many at the major battles such as Midway, Battle of Philippine sea....and if you really want some the Battle of Leyte. I prefer to wait at the Surigao Strait, two Fuso's come that way. Then you can rush and cathc the center force the next day at Samar.

Truk is always full of them in 43 if you're into harbor raping....good points.
