[BABBY] BlackYeti Players 828 posts 12,485 battles Report post #1 Posted March 23, 2019 @MrConway I summon thee! Some time ago there was a proposal for the ARP and Dragon camos to provide at least basic bonuses (detectability and dispersion, even without xp bonus) which seemed fair as you can't use other camos on those ships. You promised to pass on the feedback to devs. Any update on that? :) 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] Mr_Tayto Players 1,099 posts 10,119 battles Report post #7 Posted March 24, 2019 Can we just get a premium Kongo already, or a permacamo for it, at the very least. What about a tier 6 Kongo (Hiei?) With better AA tomreflect operations in 1942? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only agree. I was this close to getting the yellow-bellied Dragon boat when it was last seen in the shop, but when push came to shove, I just couldn't bring myself to pay money in order to get a ship with worse or at least no better camouflage statistics than one I already had (the bubble-gum pink Myoko clone, I forget the specific name). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be THE Myoko. Pink&poop colors would be Ashigara, red/yellow Haguro and green for Nachi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BABBY] BlackYeti Players 828 posts 12,485 battles Report post #12 Posted March 24, 2019 TBH I only kept Southern Dragon and Haruna as the nicest looking ARP ship. I never managed to get the whole collection because at the time of the event I was only starting my wows career and didn't have the tiers needed to grind the tasks. I like to sail both of them from time to time in coop, where camos don't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lovelacebeer Players 2,982 posts 21,498 battles Report post #15 Posted March 24, 2019 Honestly I would be really happy if the camo was just the standard reduction in detectabilty and dispersion and if WG like they could then sell proper premium camos with the credit and XP bonuses. After all I'm happy sailing around in a ships that looks like they belong in a dodgy part of Akihabara or Kabukicho it would just be nice to have the camo values and as I said WG can still make money from selling proper premium versions its win win for us and them.

Yeah, don't have Nachi (couldn't do the requirements back then for her), and don't have any of the dragons. We got a mission I'm sure for the Southern Dragon, but only had the option to buy the Eastern Dragon if I remember correctly. Like you say without different stats it's money for another skin, a collector's thing I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 7,969 posts 16,841 battles Report post #22 Posted March 25, 2019 This shouldn't be too hard to sort out: just follow the model used for the Black Friday ships... The ARP thing is long gone, but you'd think WG could sell a lot more of the dragon ships if they weren't gimped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BFS] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,439 posts 17,840 battles Report post #23 Posted March 25, 2019 I only played the ARP ships recently for one of the campaigns/missions - I think it was one for Japanese ships. I don't recall if the ARP ships had snowflakes on them or not. If they did then that was the other time that the ships have been played since they were unlocked. Being able to mount camos on them would be nice. I've set up the options to now show the ARP camos in-game as I think they are an eye-sore (beauty is in the eye of the beholder). The same goes with the Black versions of the ships - being able to mount something other than just one camo would be nice (but not the end of the world).

antean Players 853 posts 907 battles Report post #24 Posted March 25, 2019 I'd like to see the North & West Dragon ships for sale to complete my collection (in NA where I have them). A camo bonus would also be nice for the ARP & Dragon ships - you do still sometimes see them in battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[DC_DK] hgbn_dk Players 3,169 posts 36,933 battles Report post #25 Posted March 25, 2019 I think the issue why there is no camo bonuses on these ships is than when the first appeared in game the only camo's available was type 1 and 2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
