empty enemy ports

I recall that SH3 had some defences against port attack - not total and not everywhere, but some, so suprised that SH4 does not match that. Subs did not raid ports in the war BECAUSE of the protection I assume - otherwise they would surely have seized the opportunity; hard not to. As you say, 'unrealistic' - but it all helps the reward and it is something to do when you just can't find that shipping lane....

Try the ports of Naha and Itoman at Okinawa. They're always loaded with merchants.

ah, right... at present my new orders are to stalk the shipping lanes between Japan and the Luzai straits (?) - but first I must go back to Midway to get some more torpedoes, then I might just pop by Okinawa, just to see...

Harbor traffic is randomized. Some times it spawns, sometimes it doesnt. Youll rarely see the same type or number of ships in port.

Oops, right, I think it's a good time to add that my finds at the Okinawa ports are when running TMO/RSRDC together.
