Not knowing whether I,m gonna foul things up ,I go back to my patrol area .the Mods waiting to be installed are :- OTC for TMO 2.5. TMO 2.5. and one that gives the names of all the Islands ( can,t think of the name).I,ll look into the Campaign files , and also try an get to that position near Formosa. and th other info will be looked into . Thx guys I,d sail with you lot any where . H

I've had some luck with placing myself at the point where major events took place about 24 hours prior to the historical event (EX: the invasion of Java in 1942.)

Also I did a bit of poking around for real IJN convoy routes on the web and patrolled along those axes. There are only a couple of maps that I could find, but I've found a fair number of small to medium groups, mainly in the Bismark Sea, off Truk, and in the passages between the Celebes Sea and the Phillipine Sea. Not so much off Japan or in the ECS.

Another trick is to draw a line from the major bases to the major supply points and put yourself within 30 miles of the line, again patrolling along the line, not back and forth across it. This worked best later in the war in the East China Sea and the Formosa Straits.

All this to avoid peeking.
