Or two troop ships in line astern, guarded by 3 - 4 destroyers. Wherever I patrolled, so long as it could conceivably be a route connecting 2 Japanese bases, I could find targets easily.
So I'm trying FOTRSU, starting in the Asiatic Fleet in Dec 1941. First mission was to patrol south of Hainan Island and I detect a convoy consisting of LSTs(!), minelayers and many other ships which I have yet to identify. I surmise this must be an invasion force headed for HK? Malaya?
Trying to adjust to some of the changes introduced in the mod. More variety in ship types and classes which is good. No more generic "fleet carriers" for one, nice to see named CVs. Map contacts now have no tails so it'll take some effort to determine target course and thereby plot an intercept.
Are any suggested mods which play well with FORTSU?

Glad you moved on, will get a much better experience in SH 4 now with mods such as FOTRS and TMO. The lazy way UBI created traffic really is abhorrent. Fortunately, some flexibility was built in to allow the community to remedy that. Scripting traffic though is time consuming, quite tedious. I would say in my mod for TMO it was somewhere around fifty percent of the time spent in development to adjust all of the traffic layers, add missing groups , make them historically accurate as possible etc. and of course testing. lol
Can not speak with certainty on the group you encountered but sounds like you did run into an invasion force.
Welcome to the real show
