Don’t know whether the bonus still exists, but I think the reason why it existed in the first place was because camels and ships had the same armor class. This meant that bonuses affecting ships affected camels and vice versa. This was also the case for heated shot, which increased tower and castle damage not only against ships, but also against camels. Likewise, the spearman line had a bonus against ships because of its bonus against camels. Nowadays however, a bonus against camels shouldn’t affect ships, because camels have been given their own armor class. The developers might have added one in again though for people who already knew about the bonus so they wouldn’t go using their Genoese xbows to take out some galleons only for their army to be decimated¯\_(ツ)_/¯
