Camouflage

Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 2 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce the accuracy of incoming shells.

Players who wish to spend doubloons can equip Bismarck with Type 18 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
