Confused about Camo

[Zaikadi]

A while back, new camo patterns for my IJN ships appeared in my port. In addition to the usual Type 1 and type 2 ugly green patterns, there were a couple more that improved both the detectability and avoidance of enemy fire. The new pattern I used was mainly gray, Prussian blue, and off-white. It was superior and better looking, so I mounted it with auto-resupply. Also, I couldn't find any mention of cost. Was it free?

 

Anyway, with the the new patch, the extra patterns are gone. I'm back to the normal set, except there's also a 22,000 credit ugly pattern that provides both kinds of protection.

 

Can anyone enlighten me, please? Thanks.

That was the award camo you get from playing ranked, or a few other things such as a couple of daily missions and you can not buy it.  There is a new camo you can buy for 50 gold each that does the same thing, or the 22k doubloon camo which does the same thing minus the xp bonus.  There is also some special camo on a few ships (and all premiums) that once you buy it you never need to buy camo again.

Hope that helps clear it up for you.

Some of us got that camo from chests during Project R

Thanks, SisterAndromeda and giovybez. I probably got them from the Project R chests. It just seems strange that they disappeared right at the latest version update.

This seems place to ask

 

Have developers anywhere explained/confirm how that -4% to enemy accuracy thing works?

From what I understand it effects their dispersion.

you probably used them all, they come in limited amounts

You get a dispersion buff + minor aim assist for range when you lock on to a target.

 

I would assume locking on to a target with camo reduces the dispersion buff.

 

If you've ever fired BB guns at max rage without locking onto anything.......the dispersion is pretty abysmal.
