No
Wait for the August event
Dont take it personally but id much rather get confirmation from Stona ;)
Syonan has been still regularly #1 or #2 on K/D in the 3.3 boat stats on Statshark. Only real competition for the top spot is Surprise/Spey. (And Japan is the #4 nation in popularity for naval.) But yeah, looks pretty pointless if you already have a Syonan.
You will not receive confirmation/denial on such questions, sorry.

I would choose Isuzu over Syonan every time. And Isuzu can actually be called great anti-air vessel, with its HE-VT shells. It’s also much easier to get the score with rapid-firing guns on Isuzu.
Yes, I know it’s one step higher in BR, but 3.3 already faces 4.3 quite often anyway. The compression in Naval is just crazy. I don’t even recommend playing this BR area (3.3-3.7). It’s much better to stick to 4.0-4.3 vessels. And at 4.0 you have something like JDS Ayanami (DD-103) with even more rapid-firing guns. It’s a much better choice.
Also, keep in mind that IJN Shisaka is an event vehicle only - it won’t receive premium bonuses. If it were a premium, then maybe it would be worth it for researching the tech tree.

Is this an out-of-season April fools joke? Like, for how many months without naval event, bad state of current naval battles, we get… a frigate. In clown-ish sci-fi camo. For 600k points for a coupon.

Another fishing boat with guns.
tbh no coastal or bluewater ship will make naval more enjoyable than it is, neither will it stop Gaijin from spawning two teams facing each other in a line 8km from each other…etc
If making BP points is all you look for then yeah the SKR-7 is it, but for squidron frigates the SKR Karl Marx is kinda surprisingly on pair & doesn’t suffer from a horrendous ready rack that has now quite frankly gimped the former ship.
Well these vessels are what I play mostly, basically a masochist at this point with me playing some of the worst bloody ships in game to some of the most fearsome (the Frigate USS Hoquiam PF-5 is horrible while the Destroyer JDS Ayanami DD-103 is overshadowed yet incredibly OP due to how she’s represented in game).

I was hoping since this ship was in service in the 90s it would be out fitted with a m242 but idk.

It wouldn’t be japanese if it was that configuration
Isn’t this another Syonan? What’s the point of this now?
Cool, that’s Akitsushima, an entirely different type of ship, not Shisaka. Plus colors are entirely different, like it’s Nvidia ship.

From what I see, it’s probably only a Loading Screen thing. If you check the vehicle preview the stripes are much paler and closer to the original.
Spoiler
Plus it’s normal for vessels to get Camos of other vessels. For example last event Strasbourg received Richelieu’s Measure 32 Camo.
Was Richelieu a ship of an entirely different type from Strasbourg?(Seaplane tender and Frigate in our case), or it’s a sistership of Strasbourg?

I was hoping it would be you — a vehicle from Italy, preferably from the Bluewater fleet. But oh well, just another event I won’t be doing. Thanks, Gaijin, perfect for my vacation — I’ll focus on other games. As for the Battle Pass, I’m on vacation from that too.
