View Full Version : Navy Field: now with subs!

I've received a copy of Navy Field to review, they've added subs and that makes a big difference in the gameplay. Yes, this is still an arcade game. No, it will not replace SH4, but I recommend giving it a try for some fun, fast paced naval action (http://www.subsim.com/ssr/navy_field/review_navy_field.php)between SH4 patrols. It's kinda cool. :up:

Fun indeed!

I was after this big fellow all night, he finally let his guard down when my ally attacked with a squadron of planes. Sinking a BB is a big deal, I think they are going to name a blimp hangar after me now :ping:

Navy fields okay, I might try and get into it again, last I played it was a lagfest.

Edit: still laggy as a hell, and has a knack for totally ****ing my connection for like a half hour after trying to play.

Discovered that NF is a less laggy during off hours so I can only play at like 2 AM ;p

Started out from scratch on the New York server.

Going up German side (went American on Arizona) this time, Went directly from frigates to a Z1. Nice ship.

Also, why the hell does it spam little "FFDShow audio decoder" icons in my taskbar?

You should see the leaked info on the second tier submarines then:

http://www.navyfield.com/board/view.asp?Num=129164&Sort=C06

The next USN submarine is going to be the S class. Won't be long before Gato.

Though sub skippers aren't going to get off scot free either:

I haven't gotten a BO up to the level needed for an O class yet, but I am having fun dropping ashcans from my Atlanta class :D

What do you have to do to get the subs? do you have to work your way up to them or do you have to have a premium account?

Rilder
09-09-08, 09:48 AM
You have to have a bridge operator level 37ish to get a sub.

For germans this is right after your first Cruiser.


Check here for more info. (http://www.trainworld.us/NF2/English/Ships.html)


Also.

Z31 on Newyork server atm. 2-3 more levels and I can get a Z99 Destroyer.

All you have to do is work your way up to them. You don’t need any sort of premium account, just a BO of the requisite level (US Lvl 38, UK Lvl 37, IJN Lvl38, KM Lvl 37) and a crew to support it.

09-10-08, 01:47 PM
Also I noticed in the review:

As mentioned above, the game is free to play until level 30, after which a fairly modest fee of $7.99 US per month is applied.

Are you sure this is the case? I'm almost completely sure the only monthly fees are optional. You just have to suffer with 40% less xp or something.

09-10-08, 01:50 PM
The subscription is only for better XP

Hehe those damn subs have taken out my cruiser many a time ;)

though it does add variety to navy field i don't think the game was made for sub play.

Something excedinly common with them is "Torp duels" where 2 subs or a sub and a DD sort of face off against each other with torps and end up killing each other. Happened to me once, sub fired its torps at me I fired mine at it and we both blew up spectacularly. :lol:

Slight update: Finally got enough points to upgrade my other main gunner to well gunner so I can finally throw on the 5.9s on.

Mines are worthless

The Akizuki is a nice ship, especially the remodel, I think you can fit the Dual 5.5"ers on it and that pretty much outguns every DD except the Tsuki, Z99 and DDX (Ya know, the ones that never actually existed)

Right so I finally can use a Koenigsberg, unfortunatly I need like 40-50k more credits till I can actually buy it. :-? Ah well, i'l get some gunner levels and maybe get enough points to boost my special forces dude up to be a rookie pilot.

You don't need a subscription to play at all, but it does make leveling faster at higher levels. Case in point, my main Bridge Operator is just shy of the Iowa class (that's level 89), and I have used precisely zero subscriptions playing the game.

Well the fact that I can't even play during daylight hours on US servers I doubt I could play on europe servers due to lag.

Also, we should really form our own squad but I think were a bit spread out among the servers... we need a server designated for subsim activities.

Probably just decide which servers are the most frequented first and go from there, I believe you need a level 26 Radio officer to do so.

From Trainworld:

How to create a Squadron

In order to form a clan, you have to meet the following requirements. 1) You need to have a ¡¥Radio Officer¡¦, which is on Level 26.
2) Need 200,000 credits to form a squadron.
3) You need players (parties) to join your squadron

09-23-08, 09:40 PM
For your information:

Arizona = oldest server, biggest number of experienced players and big ships (my server)
Missouri = second-oldest, not quite as many experienced players but still quite a few big ships
New York = newest server, almost no experienced players, very few big ships

If you want to start small, NY is probably the best, but if you want plenty of opportunities to face the big boys, AZ is the server for you.

BTW, when I say "big ship" I mean anything BB5 and larger. You'll rarely see a BB6 or CV6 out on any of the servers since not many people have them due to the massive crew requirements; I've seen a grand total of less than 5 BB6 appearances ever since they came out along with the subs.


-e- If you do decide to play on AZ, I might be able to help you with some of the financial costs of getting a squadron/fleet together, but my funds might get somewhat tight soon since I'm about to get my Iowa class battleship.

Well I have a cruiser on both AZ and NY so both are fine with me, also wouldn't mind starting on a new server if needed.

Though I have noticed that NY is a fair bit less laggy for me then Arizona which is why I started on NY anyways.

NY: Rather well fit K-Berg
AZ: Crappy fit Atlanta

Also want to play but my nets being shoddy tonight. :(

I used to have a very nice UK County crew on NY, but my account got suspended when I transferred my MO crew to the European Servers (Far less lag at the time...)

I'll check if there is less lag in NY later and see if they can unban my account so I could play there without starting over

In general, you can't go wrong with both ways. Having a BB to play around with gives you vastly more options, and can serve as a good leveling platform. In fact, most BB players have at least two BB lines so that they can level up their crews to be on par with either Bridge Operator. I have a total of four USN BOs myself, one on the Brooklyn line and now driving an Iowa, another on the Northampton line commanding a North Carolina, a third commanding a Yorktown, and one more at level 12 getting up there to command my future Gato. It takes a lot more time to bring up those lines, but it also gives you more variety if you ever get bored.

Yeah probably gonne go up the BB line, despite the fact that I'm a terrible shot and would probably be better in a carrier or sub. Like variety though so one of these days I may start another BO training.

UPDATE:

I have discovered why I cannot hit stuff and enemies like to target me over other, juicier targets.

Wow some of the older players bloody idiots.

Near the end of match CV was getting shot by a DD, I rushed to help, CV launched a torp bomber squadron and ended up shooting itself with torpedoes without hurting the DD.

DD finishes off carrier just as I get into range

Different guy starts whining about how its my fault the CV got sunk, and if I could actually aim the CV wouldn't of got sunk.

What a bloody idiot, My spread sucks, if I had fired at that distance I would of ended up tking the carrier. (they were really close)

Don't get me wrong its a fun game, but really the old-players need the learn that some people don't have level 120 +9000 Accuracy gunners.

On the good side of NF I am nearing my 100th kill.

Lord Kelvin
10-07-08, 04:51 PM
Eh, a lot of the hostility comes from the fact that a lot of the time, a player doesn't know how the game works, and sometimes doesn't even care to try to find out how to play better. And given how little time it takes for people with subscriptions to level up nowadays, the fact that battles are team-based means that often there's at least one big ship on either side driven by someone who doesn't understand how to play the game, and acts as a weight dragging down their entire team.

Trust me, there are few things more frustrating than having the BB5 on your team shooting at small targets all game instead of trying to sink the enemy battleships that actually pose a threat to their team, or the CV5 who either carries fighter planes that are 50 levels below the BO, or doesn't carry fighters at all...

Rilder
10-07-08, 10:22 PM
Yeah I guess, but its just a game after all.

I have no idea.

Apparently my mate accidently torped a guy, apollogized and like 3 days later the guy got pissed off about it and reported him.

Lord Kelvin
10-08-08, 01:30 AM
There are usually debacles like this that arise every few days or weeks, unfortunately. I think I remember a mod saying that they actually have a quota for how many players they have to report/ban a month in order to get their free Premium subscriptions, which is really retarded.

That being said, one of the things that you learn to do after a while is to cover your own ass. Taking screenshots of yourself apologizing for an accidental TK (or the fact that it was accidental by showing screenies of the enemy you were trying to shoot at) isn't uncommon. I guess I can't really complain since I don't buy subscriptions and thus can't really get pissed from losing days off of it, and the principle of it rarely matters to me.

No official IRC that I know of, but they have a TeamSpeak server where you can find a moderator if you need one. Problem is, they're often busy with other stuff unless you catch them on a free moment.

Unfortunately, some bad judgment on my part in changing ships/equipment/etc., has cost me so much money that once I hit LVL 30 I will not have enough to upgrade again.

LK? Thanks for your site and playing information...and thanks for the link to the other site as well...it taught me quite a bit. Believe it or not, I managed to sneak in the other day after someone took a pounding on his Montana and finish it off with cannonaid - even they are only 5 inchers. Felt good. :D

Do wish I could shut down some of the kids talk though...they awful quick to blast away at everyone with their mouths.

BTW - is there a "SUBSIM CLAN" that you know of?

If you get lucky you'll find a generous lad who will give you a fair bit of credits.

Also no subsim clan, don't think many people play and Im currently in another forums clan.

Tip for players in DDs.

FIT DEPTH CHARGES.

Go into GBs and hang out near battleships. 4 depth charges do like 8K damage to a sub.

New record: 12k damage with 4 depth charges.

Ashcans do quite a bit more damage if you're up close and personal instead of just doing proximity dropping. The best record I've gotten was about 12k from one drop (two charges), best total is 19k from two drops (four charges).

The actual problem is getting close enough, since most players tend to try to take out the ASW ships before going for the bigger targets, and it's actually ridiculously easy to take out ASW ships with subs since it only really requires a single direct hit to put it out of action, and the splash damage from the torps cripples you even if it doesn't hit you.

Did they add them in NFNA already?

They have a poll in NFEU asking if we want them

Hey, on the gun types, what do the "D" and the "L" and no designator stand for? I have the 6" D guns, and they forever to re-load and hit at the max range. I'm using the heavy ammo.

yah, they allow up to 3 BB and 3? CV in the blitzkrieg. It's just irritating to have these guys sit back and take you out with one shot:x when it's designed for small ships.

The L means for longer range, but less damage, D mean shorter range but more damage, best if you use HE light.

so can you use the heavy ammo on the L guns?

You mean, but not sure if it can increase range for the HE-H, I mainly use HE-Light and AP, and only L designated guns.

D = Less gunspace, lighter, faster reload, lower range
L = More gunspace, heavier, slower reload, more range
N = In between

Depending on which ship you have, CLs generally tend to be better with the L guns (On CAs and BBs it's a must, with light shells too), some CLs do better with the Ds though (Like the Dido)

Hated the Yubari, best to avoid it...But agano is fine if you want to scout for your flellow teammates, Simakaze is a good TW, been my fav till I got Kitakami. Mcbee, you in the Mogami line right? Best to stay on the Tsuikikei till you get up too Mogami.

The Agano is much better than it's reputation, with the Dual 7.9"ers you have one of the longest-range and heaviest-hitting CL1 in the game, plus scouts

Really? Didn't know that, just so stuck with the trip 6s and i empty my scouts and my rear gun for extra bulge space.

Another ship I suggest to try in NF is the H39,awefully huge but let downs are Firepower,its typical for KM,H39 rocks but Yammy,Iowa and L1 can rush it
