Anyone know of some good locations around the Celebes sea circa 1941 to early 42? The game gets a bit dry when nothing can be found.

The Makassar Strait between Borneo and Celebes is an excellent maritime bottleneck at almost any point in the war. It's narrow especially along the equator and easy to cover.

There are several shipping lanes that converge in the Celebes and it's one of my favorite hunting grounds for merchant shipping. One lane runs North/South along the Philippene coast and down the west coast of Celebes. Then they also turn East/West at roughly the mid line of the Celebes sea. You can catch shipping East/West in the Davao gulf area going to/from the Sulu sea or East/West off the North shores of Celebes heading to/from the Makassar strait. It should be a hot area in the early years of the war.
Good Hunting D40

Checkout this map. Also, if you're runing the TMO supermod, there is a similar map embeded in the game.
