For very accurate maps of merchant traffic I suggest you try the BdU launches: Operation Spinnennetz! link in the sticky area above.

On the Navigation Map screen (F5) there in the top left corner is a brown tab with a pull down map which shows you several things.

1. Convoy routes and single merchant routes
2. Shaded areas of high naval traffic.
3. Air cover ranges various years of the war

This should help you to find and intercept convoys. Along their general routes.

Is this what you meant?

WELCOME ABOARD!

I might also suggest that you get SH3 Gen. It gives information in a realistic manner, and is also adjustable as to how much it gives (it can show you everything that's in the game at any given time, if you want life easy) and adjustable as to how accurate the information is. I like to have info that might not be all that good, so I keep mine set pretty low.

Oh, and don't worry about compatibility: it's an external tool that works with any mod, just like SH3 Commander. You do have SH3 Commander, don't you?

Welcome,

and other than in game pull up map you really shouldn't need any other help for finding convoys.Just patrol those sectors lanes and read what periods of war they were active.

Note that some( many) of convoys are traveling outside those lines , so thats not to accurate. Last 2 large convoys i encountered were far away from convoy lanes.

I have no problems runing into them, and i am no expert by any means and purposes. Usually i run into 2-3 convoys per patrol, more then i have torpedos for it.

Plus i always avoid choke points , which could be death traps later in the war.

Good hunting
