[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #2 Posted December 23, 2016 Buy it and find out! Lol... Seriously it's likely to be that same one, the lazy 3k doubloon colour change one yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BBMM] Panzerblitz Alpha Tester 411 posts 11,156 battles Report post #3 Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) 100% more free xp is kinda nice though, the vanilla one does not have that. But no idea if it's the same as in the store. Would be great if someone knew.....and I'm not gonna test buy it, I have spent enough money on boxes and the Graf Spee for this season. At least the boxes were good value. Edited December 23, 2016 by Panzerblitz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CAIN] Jethro_Grey Players 5,207 posts 25,733 battles Report post #6 Posted December 23, 2016 I like my Prem camos, infact i hope they release one for every single ship. And yes, i bought all the available camos for ships i have in my port, and will continue to do so for the last 4 CVs i don't have yet, but not these. I just don't want to spend an significant amount of money on things all other regions have the chance to get for free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain_Strawberry Players 306 posts 5,559 battles Report post #8 Posted December 24, 2016 Why would you buy camo for the Tirpitz when she comes with one for "free" with the ship from the get go. An extra 50% exp doesn't sound great to me for 1000 doubloons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BBMM] Panzerblitz Alpha Tester 411 posts 11,156 battles Report post #9 Posted December 24, 2016 Because of the different boni, the one which is available in port adds another 100% of free xp to it. That adds up quickly with Papa Papa flags and if you enjoy playing the Tirpitz you can unlock other ships with that xp without paying - so a camo with 100% more of that is a big deal. So this is why I would really like to know if the store camo is something else or the same that can be bought in port. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if I buy the shop camo and already have it by directly buying it in port. That would kinda suck and I bet their customer service is unavailable over the holidays.

[LEWD] Ebu34 Players 327 posts Report post #13 Posted December 24, 2016 Same one. I bought to grind Mighty Mo. Pre account+Camo+ ESCL+ Papa papa = 1000~2500 Free xp per game. I bought because i got fairly good amount loot from containers. And want to return some favor Btw. Recent teams are just awful. Thx to events and christmas.

[SCRUB] BadGene616 Beta Tester 773 posts 8,197 battles Report post #14 Posted December 24, 2016 1 gold = 25 exp converted. 35 if you wait for a sale on it. That means there is an opportunity cost from the gold of 75,000 free experience converted. Or 105,000 of you have some patience. Now work out how much free exp you'd get extra on average in a Tirpitz. My average exp in the ship is about 1.8k. Currently I get 5% of this back in free exp. That's 90 free exp per game. So it would take me 833 games to earn that without the cammo. With the cammo, 400ish games. Assuming I only play it on daily doubles, I'm being kind and averaging out the daily to a x2, that's 200 games just in Tirpitz. Premium might bring it down some more too. So let's assume 100-150 games. Just to break even. That's best case scenario. If you were going to buy the ship and get a bundle and it's free, go for it. If not, it's a waste of money.

I agree you with they should give them free as did in other servers. But i got Sims,GremyOp,Lo Yang and Marblehead from containers. Which i paid one ship amount money. Not even mentioning about crap ton flags and camos. Just give them some credits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its good source of free xp. God Tirpitz Dispersion killing me. It already has one. You've paid 3k gold which is worth 75k free exp for the privilege of earning that back in the next hundred games or so. Feeling blue?

SteDorff Players 684 posts 5,190 battles Report post #21 Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I can confirm it is the same 'type Tarnanstrich' as the one available for 3000 doubloons I just bought it because I want it anyway for 15 euro you get an extra 1000 doubloons so you have a little better deal.

Actually I have plenty mony I dont care for the extra (that is about 4-5 eu instead of cents but cant be bothered with the calculus) I bought it because this thread popped up and I got curious as well if it would be the same camo (color and statwise) as the ingame. As for the sourness in your reply - it is the way it is and I doubt they will change it on Eu server so might as well buy it now and if it gets changed then so be it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[2DQT] RUSSIANBlAS Players 8,241 posts Report post #25 Posted December 24, 2016 It makes an already expensive ship even sillier in price... And alot of us have already played a lot of Tirp. I've taken a Captain to 15+ points, I believe that's almost a million XP. Now if WG want to retrospectively give me the free XP conversion then I might think about buying the camo If you're new to the Tirp then the rip off camo maybe worth it, just don't think about the thousands of Americans, Russians and SEA residents using it for free...
