"Naples of the East": The Frigate Shisaka

actually less due to general slowness

Yes, for sure the SL %'s are amazing in NRB, but even when I try to play RB’s (and focus on trying to play well) I still only make a fraction of what I can make in Arcade per hour. I could make hundreds of thousands of SL’s per match in NAB before, even in a 10-15 min match. And easily get over 1m SL’s/hour in NAB. I used to exclusively use all of my SL boosters in NAB, have had numerous 1m+ SL single matches in NAB, with my premium botes+premium time+those SL boosters.

I try to always state that it is my issue/dislike of RB modes that is the issue. For many players RB modes are not only more fun, but more rewarding per hour SL+RP wise. Just not for me.

Some stats for my Arcade SL/Game stats below. I made more in even my “bad” botes, than I did in my best tonks. Even botes that I played very little/was not “good” with, I still made more per game vs my best tonks. And this is overall/average SL’s/Game, many games were much higher in a single match in my fav/best botes. My best SL/Game tonks don’t even show up till quite a ways down the list compared to my botes:

Some of my Arcade SL/Game stats from Statshark:

1.18m SL Arcade Match with Kerch, in a 25min game. 500% SL booster:


2x more ~1m SL Arcade Matches with Helena. I don't remember if SL booster, but I think it must have been with one. Second one was a loss and still made 1m SL's lol:

The only cruiser this effective against is the one rated as a destroyer in game, Scout cruiser Aquila (1917).

Im not too sure, but heres the same camo from in game used on the Akitsushima

I have to credit u/Kanyiko on reddit for the information, i dont know much about naval apart from the names of a few famous ships

That’s the fun part
It was never used on anything except Akitsushima. And we don’t have it in game. This camo is tender-specific for seaplane carrier
Something close to it in size is Shimakase, but she already has this camo
Shisaka is much smaller and never used this camo

Using it on Shisaka, or any other ship than Akitsushima proves it is NOT a historical camouflage. At least in simply meaning of “historical” word.

Listen i just said its a real camo, i dont know anything about naval. You just mentioned, a phrase ive never heard “seaplane carrier”, and a ship i didnt know exister or what it is “Shimakase”.

I think it should be classified as semi-historic if thats the case. As we have alot of tanks that have camoflauges that are real, but used on similar vehicles and not them.

See - that’s the issue, it’s from entirely different ship, and this camo was unique for this ship. I wouldn’t have a problem if this was a camo 8th star, like we sometimes have on events. But this one is default camo without any alternative.

Ah i see now. grievance makes a bit more sense. Ill be honest i dont do naval or air events. Havent even checked the ship in game.

That is odd though, youd think theyd make the camo an earn able item and have a base grey ship or whatever the standard colour is.

Nah, that one wasn’t me lol. I got it a little bit before the aiming changes went through. Just had not gotten around to adjusting my bote lineups to use it/them. Might just sell them back, idk yet /sad. Or maybe exchange them for War Bonds to be really petty about it 😂

I think sell them for a decent price, you could make some one happy. Just dont sell if theres a normal asking price then one above it is .01 more.

I wish gaijin would do something about that, i tried to buy the fj4b for 80gjn and immediately someone made an offer for 80.01. I kept incresing and they stopped at 85. I refuse to believe that was a person doing that
