Default Where are all the boats

Can some one please help. I have sailed into port after port, to find just a bunch of birds and lighthouses populating the area. Where are all the ships at port. Convoys getting ready to steam.
I even sailed right up to scapa flow and found nothing. Is there a mod that puts ships in the ports. I like to sail the oceans looking for convoys, but I am a daredevil. I'll take my Uboat right through the minefields and subnets to score a carrier or passenger liner just sitting there unaware!

Anyone have any suggestions.

Maybe a little off-topic, but is it possible to sail into all ports?

Is it dangerous? I know the path in to Oslo, Norway was nasty to get throu cause of underwater blockades. There was a small path only for the ships to sail throu, and was protected by cannons and torpedos.

The German ship Blychner(or however you spell the name) ended it days there with many thousands sailors while they where invading Norway.

But i am guessing the game does not include costal defenses and underwater mines and such. So if i am not wrong the only threat to us are enemy ships spotting us?

you mean the admiral hipper class BlĂĽcher? hit by 1 shell of a coastal defence in the bridge and then hit by 2 or 3 torps.

I've been having the same disappointing discovery whenever I get into an enemy port: no ships! HT 1.47 sounds great but if I only want to populate the ports with lots of ships, can I just install

1.Harbour traffic by Rubini.
7.Lighthouses mod by sergbuto (standalone version)
20.New ports traffic by chris911 and Rubini

And can I find those in uboat.net?
