I didn't buy it but was able to preview it in port. I already had the Santa's Convoy Campaign which rewarded a perma-camo for her. The Convoy camo is better than the doubloons one. Both give the typical -3% detection bonus, -4% dispersion penalty to attackers. Both also grant a bonus to XP earned but the Doubloons one is +30%, the Santa's Convoy is +50%. I do like how the Doubloons one looks though, similar to the one for Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't seem accomplish anything that I can see... Iirc, it was to confuse enemy spotters about the size of the ship at range, creating the potential for it to be mistaken for a cruiser.

Hmm, Wikipedia lists it as "dazzle camouflage" but the camo is so minimalist, I can't tell how she would confused an enemy sighting her. Would the black and white stripes even be visible at a distance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
