Sub_Eleven Players 1,225 posts Report post #1 Posted July 20, 2016 There has been a discussion going on for a while regarding the pricing and offered bonuses on the in game permanent camouflages. Recently wargaming released a statement saying they're pricing policy is fine and the camouflages are not over priced at all. Being a bit sceptical myself I'm interested to see what the average forumite has spend on said camouflages. Since wargaming hasn't released any sale figures, a poll might just be the next best thing to give us some insight on how well these things actually sell, and if the community agrees with the pricing policy being fine.

[KUMA] Kittykami Beta Tester 289 posts 11,934 battles Report post #9 Posted July 20, 2016 I purchased them for Shokaku and Iowa, since I doubt I'll ever sell either for history nerd reasons. Also I'm easily enticed by shiny things... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldenHornet Beta Tester 26 posts 2,765 battles Report post #12 Posted July 20, 2016 I bought permacamo for my Cleveland as I knew it was going to be a keeper and the 30% xp boost would make the grind easier. 1000 doubloons is not a terrible price, but the higher tier ones are way overpriced.

[WG] Makoniel WG Staff 2,824 posts 14,000 battles Report post #13 Posted July 20, 2016 I would if they gave more credits. But more XP that I'll never convert on already elite ships sounds like a pure waste of money, doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NWP] Ubertron_X [NWP] Beta Tester 2,657 posts 25,762 battles Report post #14 Posted July 20, 2016 I have >70 painted tanks in WoT (all bought on half price; estimated worth of ~14500 gold or 50 Euros). I will have 0 painted ships in WoWs as it simply is too expensive (4 ships ~14500 doubloons). Too expensive, even at half price (if they do it at all), especially without accelerated captain training. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajappat Weekend Tester 477 posts 6,353 battles Report post #17 Posted July 20, 2016 I don't see the point in using them. I get through the grind fast enough without xp boost camo and even if I was planning to keep some ship, why on earth would I want even more useless XP on it?

[POP] YukiEiriKun [POP] Beta Tester 1,500 posts 5,749 battles Report post #18 Posted July 20, 2016 In WoT I have bought perma-camo for basically all my 80+ tenks becase it is cheap and I hardly ever sell any tenks. Also no bonus xp or such -> cheap. In WoWs no! I have many ships that I have kept, but the price (and bonus xp) has kept me at bay. Mah Kongo or Fuso do not need any XP boost so I'll just perma-buy the 22,5K cr. camo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonym_MfZ6T7iwWpUC Players 1,139 posts Report post #19 Posted July 20, 2016 If you intend to keep a ship and play it on a regular basis, then yes, buy a perm camo. But for a ship that is there purely to get to another ship, then no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today though in WoT, I bought some summer camo for my Conqueror and it looked very nice in it. However, it was supposed to be for my AT15A!!!! Doh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunerstile Players 196 posts 2,620 battles Report post #23 Posted July 20, 2016 None spent yet, but I might buy it on Iowa when I get that ship and I am considering getting it on Myoko for the purposes of ranked battles, but its still uncertain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T_H_0_R Players 1,015 posts 4,182 battles Report post #25 Posted July 20, 2016 Shokaku, New Orleans and Fubuki. With Fubuki and Shokaku it really payed off since I am winning with them. With NO it just eased the pain, so to speak. At least it looks 2 cool 4 school. On the other note, a 3000 dub +50% XP camo pays off only after 120 games when compared to the 50 dub +100% XP one time Type 6 camo. 3000 / 50 = 60 60 x 2 = 120 games for the same added XP bonus. Only really worth it if you wish to keep the ship. I am happy with the Shokaku and New Orleans camo since they are unique. Not so much with Fubuki since Hatsuharu, Mogami and Izumo all share the same one. Way overpriced, but if you are looking into faster grind - Type 6 is your better option. Since I did use Type6 on ships like Taiho and Baltimore - I voted over 9000. The 9000 as standalone option is missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
