Attu and Sitka--anyone ever....

Has anyone ever found any enemy shipping during the Attu, Sitka, Dutch Harbor mission out of Pearl? I have played that patrol several times and have never seen a darn thing.

No traffic there in the stock game.

Nor in RSRDC I guess.

Can't speak for Attu but I can't imagine why there would be any enemy shipping near Sitka or Dutch Harbor. Japanese carrier planes hit Dutch Harbor once as a diversion for Midway, but that was as close as they ever got to Alaska historically. Do you mean Kiska instead of Sitka?

I had a mission once up there, and found a lot of traffic. I kept getting flash reports of supply destroyers making runs, so I was able to hang around for a long time wasting torpedoes (the weather was awful, and trying to hit fast-moving destroyers was an exercise in frustration). This is with TMO and RSRD.

Japan did occupy Kiska and Attu, so there must be supply runs to those islands until they were recaptured

No reason for enemy ships to be near Sitka though
