RSRD in Kiska area July 27 1942

Renesisfury82 · 02-11-11, 10:26 AM

Has anyone intercepted the resupply convoy that comes over in flash traffic on July 27 1942? Where does it go on the island since there isn't a dock?

Fairly sure it sets in the harbor for a day, then leaves.

What side of the island is the "harbor" on?

I think it must be the bay on the northeast side of the island. However, I CTD everytime I try to go there, especially if I try to raise the periscope to do a recon. Never have gone there without a CTD. It's a mystery.

Well, I found the resupply convoy, sadly it was a modern large composite freighter and a destroyer. I guess I wish I would have know, otherwise I would have gone out to check out the Savo Island battle.

There's more than 1 convoy. Resupply convoys made several trips to Kiska, though I do not know their size or composition. I did intercept the invasion TF (by accident) once. Sank 1 carrier.

They're are many different landing groups for Kiska, Attu, and the carrier attacks at Dutch. Also several TF. Many spawn in the Paramushiro area.
If you play RSRD you'll get several flash messages mid-late 42 through early 43. Basically if your gonna play this area, hang around.

I prefer the action in the Solomons, easier to find.

*.RSRD/RFB/1.4/.*.Having been ordered to recon of midway and having made hydrophone contact with enemy Task Force, failed to make visual contact. With no update as to orders I decieded to recon Kiska/Attu, around 20th-30th. Seems nobody was home so headed for Toko. Around 350nm NE of Toko made contact with 3 Heavy Cruisers, 22 Knots line ahead. Making preperations to attack. Perhaps there is good hunting to be had in that area. Good luck.
