S7CentNickel Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Does the Makoto Kobayashi camo on the Yamato have the same economic benefits as it did/does on other ships (or am I thinking of a different camo)? Any help would be appreciated. Might actually spend some dubs if it does. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verblonde Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Strictly-speaking, no camouflage has economic benefits, since WG split out the aesthetic and economic elements - back whenever it was. So, as of right now, all cammo is purely about the look of the thing, and has no impact on the 'financials', as it were. If memory serves, prior to the split, the Kobayashi permaflage for Yamato was unusual (compared to the others from the same designer), in that it was the only one that offered standard economic bonuses, rather than boosted ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. Also the KII , ASHITAKA , ROMA all kept their econ bonus. Ship Camouflage Current bonuses New bonuses Roma Makoto Kobayashi -50% post-battle service cost +20% credits +100% XP +45% credits +100% commander XP +100% XP +100% Free XP Ashitaka Kii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Kobayashi camouflage was purchase BEFORE the camo and econ-bonuses re-work, then the "benefits" were retained or re-worked to be compatible with the new system and yield approximately the same results. Purchasing the Kobayashi camouflages AFTER the camouflage re-work won't provide enhanced enconomic benefits. It will still look nice, though. Edited to add: As @Verblonde wrote and @Col_NASTY's chart points out, the Yamato's Kobayashi camo didn't provide enhanced benefits. Nowadays, the Yamato Kobayashi camouflage is for visual appeal only. 1 hour ago, Verblonde said: Strictly-speaking, no camouflage has economic benefits, since WG split out the aesthetic and economic elements - back whenever it was.

Because my Kobayashi camo on my Kii was purchased PRIOR to the camouflage/econ-bonuses re-work, it still provides enhanced benefits.

This. The same applies to any permaflage that had boosted benefits prior to the split e.g. the 'National' ones on things like Graf Spe, and a couple of others, Prinz Eugen's 'Adler' (sp?) etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S7CentNickel Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 (edited) Thanks for all the replies! I think my Yammy looks just fine in Battleship gray & I'll save my 2.8k dubs for something else, maybe even something with value, not just eye candy. I have enough free perm camos If I am so inclined. She does look pretty good in Victorious or the Crimson Tear camos.

The Kobayashi camos for Ashitaka, Kii and Roma under the old system all offered the econ bonuses that were STANDARD FOR TIER 10. Each of these ships already being premium means that their earnings were already a cut above tech tree and their post-battle costs lower in the first place. Little wonder they have a reputation for good earnings. Yamato already being at T10, her Kobayashi only gave her what a permacamo at her tier did anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majmac Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Buying permanent camouflages is just a waste of doubloons. Over time you will pick some up for free, otherwise going 'naked' (commando) makes no different to earnings potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderTheRadarAgain Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Back in the day the Koby camos gave T10 economic bonuses to the ships it was available to. The Yamato variant had the same bonuses as the standard permanent camo. The only benefit was it's purdy to look at. Roma, Kii and Ashitaka however benefitted from the boosted economics as well as looking purdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly; I never compared T10 bonuses with those on the lower tier ships. Compared to premiums of the same tier, all the other Kobayashi permaflages granted boosted economics.
