Which supermod has the least sea traffic?

Hi folks,
this may seem a little weird, but I seriously prefer NOT encountering a convoy with a battleship and two passenger liners and 5 single merchants every two days, so my question would be: In which mod is sea traffic the most sparse?
I'm playing NYGM atm but I'm starting to dislike just how much is going on there.
I haven't played GWX in many years, but is it different in that aspect.

To explain:
It's my fourth patrol. I have already encountered one convoy sinking one battleship and one freighter. A few days later West of Ireland I almost got run over by another 5000t freighter in thick fog and dive (didn't sink him). Later that night I dove again and my sonarman heard another freighter very near by (didn't sink him either but it was another big one). Next morning the weather has cleared and I spot another convoy. Inside it a 14000 liner and a cruiser and that was when I quit.

I have never tried NYGM.
I use GWX and I haven't came across that much traffic.
The only place - as far as I know - to find that much trafiic is AD 59
I am playing on 100% realism with no map updates.

That sounds promising. Maybe I should give GWX another try. Too bad cause I really like NYGM flooding system and it also means I have to wrestle with the game again to get a stable mod list

I think GWX V3 Gold is the best of the super mods. I tried Living SH3 quite a few years ago and this mod has the best eye candy Harbours and proper locks at both ends of the Kiel Canal, but as far as playing, I think GWX is about the best and the most historically correct.
It will be interesting to see what HAHD will be like when it's finished, this super mod is, from what I have read so far, is going to make SH3 as good as anything yet, with super detailed U-boats and very enhanced harbours etc. It should be historically correct as well because the initials stand for Historically Accurate Highly Detailed.

Hopefully you are correct...I'm hoping

I have got a stable GWX3 version running now with some extra flavour mods and of course the vital H.Sie and Stiebler fixes and addons and the campaign feels definately emptier so far which is a plus for me.
NYGM has a lot of good stuff, too, though and I don't really understand why so many people only seem to play GWX.
The weather in NYGM seems superior, for instance. Twice now I had those annoying long lasting heavy fog periods, even though I do use Stiebler's weather fix included in the addon.
Although I cannot guarantee that I've just had bad luck so far.
I think if there were optional campaign layers for NYGM, I'd rather play that.
