The only ships I have seen are 3 small freighters, one Dutch, one U.S., and one with no flag. I have also seen several large "convoys" of fishing vessels, sampans, or junks, all of which are neutral.

Never saw the invasion fleets, even though I went to where they should be.

Something is foobar here.

I have since abandoned that career and will uninstall RSRD and see if that is the problem.

Sailing for almost 2 months game time and never seeing an enemy ship is more than I am willing to put up with in the name of realism.

Frankly, it's just plain boring.

If you started from 1941, your first assignment would usually be anti-shipping off Honshu/Bungo straight or Luzon. Instead of directly heading for the zone, try stopping by wake islands on or around Dec 23rd , 1941. that's when the Japs assaulted wake. plenty of action there. just sunk two Maya Heavy Cruisers on my lastest encounter about 15km SW off wake island.. and I guess I spotted two Hiryu Fleet Carriers too. but let them off the hook though coz of their course change and focused on the two Mayas. 1 day later also encountered a large convoy 1km SE off the island.. there's like about 15 ships
