Tier X permanent camos are coming?

That Des camo is third copy paste of the camo only ever used on Baltimore. And it looks hideous on Des. Not to mention that is reeks of lazyness, as already witnessed by Bismarck's camo and many others...

Man... there are some lazy and boring-looking camos...
Hakuryu was to be expected and GK looks cool, but the rest is just lame and at a price point of 15-20€ it just smells like too much of a cash-grab.
At least that (though faulty in pattern and ahistoric in colouring) Bismarck camo was based on sth iconic and looks cool. 
If recent economy changes foreshadowed the arrival of prem-camo at TierX ... then the heavily lowered max-XP since 5.12 (prolonging the grind) foreshadowed container acquisition and prem-camo spam at all other Tiers. You might notice, I really can't get over the lowered XP-values for good to excellent players. Winning a TierIX or TierX game, topping the score, barely reaching 1200XP? That is now totally possible.

With soooo many of the recent changes, I feel like WG forces me into spending a stupid amount of money, to keep playing. 

"Oh the grind suddenly takes much longer? Even with premium?How about you buy a premium camo, too? How about premium ships? Or even buy a premium camo for the Prinz Eugen you already paid for? (and to make you feel like even more of a cash cow, we make it look really bland)"

gg WG
Thought this was a game and not the time-consuming, increasingly expensive and frustrating hobby, WoWS seems to be heading towards.

Well, it is planned, I don't know about datamining (it may not be accurate, which I said several times already), but planned stats for T10 camos are full combat bonus + 50% discount on repair +20% credits +100% XP and the price should be around 5k.

 

 

 

p.s. Most of them are very underwhelming (or outright bad!). Especially the IJN ones. They should be able to make something a lot better.

I'm out of +1's for the day but if this turns out to be true (the +100% xp) I owe you a cookie!

We need these camos back for USN. Loved them.

 

Give that man a medal! :medal:

 

Those camos would not only look special but way better on TX US ships than what was shown here. Not to mention it would suite their lazy copy-paste style from one ship to another...

Nice guaranteed fat wads of money on tier X.

Going by earlier responses: "I'm desperate to skip content so I can only sit at t10 always being top tier forever".

Assuming this was true, how would +100% XP on the top of the line ship help to grind the ship faster or sit there longer? I have 18 pt captains on my T10 ships. Hell, if they stopped earning XP altogether I wouldn't give a crap. You play T10 for fun, not to get anywhere.

You can convert those XPs you know?

T99 perma camo on the ship you are good with and enjoy playing works wonders in earning FreeXP. For the example with my Fletcher and +300% FreeXP flag I can earn up to 1500 FreeXP on the first day win on a great game. On average it ranges from 1000-1200 FreeXP on first win. Ideal for skipping first few RN CL ships... :hiding:

See, I'm so far from the Free-XPing business that I forgot that possibility existed. You are right tho. Still, grind your crappy ships like a man you sissy :P

My favorite is the G.K camo. Looks like an oversized Tirpitz with it. :)

The Shimakaze camo is better than the default ones. The rest are okay.

I always do. Just use FreeXP to skip some stock hulls. :playing:

 

In all seriousness many of these TX camos are a cheap copy paste. For 5000 gold they'd better offer something unique because some of them are down right horrid. Des Moines being prime example...

more containers in less battles

 

And have you done the math on how often that will actually get you more containers, and how long it would take to pay you back? -50% to repair costs is absurdly much more valuable in that regard.

 

But still, it's a ridiculous price just to #1 allow people to never leave top tier #2 get around WGs own design for repair costs.

The DM cammo looks pretty much identical to the Sims.

 

Minimum effort cash grab indeed.

You mean Gearing's camo, right? DM's is a third copy paste of MS 33/16D camo only ever used on Baltimore. In-game first applied to Cleveland that I never saw a photo of it being used on, then correctly given to Balmer and now being re-used again on Des where it just looks horrid...

 

Minimal effort, maximum cash grab indeed. If that is the case then they ought to give USN ships CBT camos, at least they look cool and different like Sander93 noted.

i'm torn. i'd really like to play tier 10 without the possibility of loosing credits(you'd really have to just have to be so monstrously bad to lose money with such economic benefits), but i fear that tier 10 would get overwhelmingly popular. I have already been in a match like this

and i pray i never get into one again. (needless to say, we lost, because all our ships except the dd hudled up in a corner of the map like sheep. i couldn't even keep up with them, that's how fast they ran away...)

Some of the camouflages do look a bit cheap copy paste, considering the premium price they gonna charge for em. The des moin one stands out as i have pretty much the same scheme on my cleveland like some other people already mentioned. If there is a lack of inspiration I bet you could pay some modders to make new camouflages for you wargaming? Some are very talented and have made tons of amazing stuff already, why not tap into that possible resource?
