Don't know if anyone plays this, but it is a fairly neat little WW2 ship game (mostly fictional).
Addy is http://www.navyfield.com (http://www.navyfield.com) .
Me and shane both play on the Missouri server, if y'all want to check it out. I go by "urchinah" over there, but I'm not on a whole ton right now.
-
That looks really cool.

It is fairly interesting. Its more like a MMORPG than AH is, your crew has a lot more to do with how good you are then your skill level does.
But if you feel like giving it a go, look me up and I'll try to help you get started.
-
what, no submarines?
-
Completely free or semi-free? Last I heard was that it's free with the smaller ship classes, but bigger ships are only for paying customers.
-
Takes FOREVER to download. And I have cable.
-
There are two forms of Navy Field subscription services. Both services do not go into effect until ANY sailor reaches level 30. From here on out you can choose to select out the following options.
Regular : A regular account will be priced at $7.99 per month and provide an effective means to continue playing Navy Field.
Premium : A premium account will be priced at $11.99 per month, and in addition to providing further game play, players will receive an added 1,000 extra EXP, points, and credits from each battle (must be in battle for 5 minutes to receive bonus).
Free you said? Let it be said it's semi-free.
-
No offline play?
-
My DD sucks. I die in every battle.
-
No, its actually free free now. Doesnt matter what level.
It used to be you had to pay after level 30. Now you dont, you just take an XP hit on your sailors after 30 unless you subscribe.
-
seems interesting, going to give it whril
-
Been watching it for a long time and I am finally downloading it tonight. I should be on the Missouri server later on.
-
got it this afternoon. Pretty fun but sucks at first when everybody else has huge ships and you are stuck with the frigate.
-
I agree. It is alot of fin. But getting nuked from battleships from across the map isnt cool. Thats why I try to stay in DD only battles for now.
-
Get used to everyone being in bigger ships than you lol.
Easiest nation is KM if you arent retarded, they have the best DD, best CL, best CA, and strong BBs (best bb1,2 after that they arent any more).
I think the consensus is that the UK is the 'easiest' nation, KM you actually have to have a slight modicum of skill to keep the other guy at your max range since KM outranges everyone.
US is good at BB and CL, don't know about CA, and their BBs all just got buffed.
IJN sucks all round.
-
IJN has awesome torpedo boats IIRC.
-
Got a friend that's addicted to this game. Samething over and over and he paid out the arse.
-
i always kamikazied into cruisers with my z99... i would unload all my torps into the side then have a broadsides fight and limp away watching his ship sink :aok
now i cant play because my new wireless internet hates me :(
the comp i am using used to be connected to the router hub then my mom got the Mac and gave me this comp and jacked the fast internet....
the specialtys are like americans have best pilots, brits have best range, japanese have best cvs and germans have best gun damage
that was the last i heard about it
-
I'm still trying to figure out how to change sides. Which side is the KM?
-
Can someone that is not as blind as me find the system requirements?

It's quite simple game graphics wise, doesn't really need a great system.
If you've played AH, you should be able to play Navyfield even better.

I don't think you'll have a problem, unless your computer is at least four years old or older.
-
This thing isnt that old but it was a budget puter that i only use for web browsing in the living room and outdoors.
1,5ghz celeron mobile, 512mb ram and some via gpu.

You should be fine.

BTW I'm playing as GenBeef on the M server.
-
dl now... friggin huge file!. 7 minutes
-
Make sure you enable the game to access the internet if you have a firewall. It was the first program to completely freeze my new computer because I didnt enable it.
-
ive tried the game, and frankly it seems kinda dull. Ill keep it on my drive and test more when i have a few hours to spare.

If you like doing the same exact mission and tactic over and over you'll eventually love it.

hmmmm it might be something to do with the last time I played that i had Norton and now i have mcaffee.....
-
Im finally figuring out torpedos. Im also inflicting some heavy damage on other DD's while Im alive. All my sailors are at level 10. I want a BB or a CV really really bad.

He he, that will take a long while.
-
I dont have a long while! Looks like this will be taking over my AH life for alittle while.

Yeah, dull and very arcade-like..
If you want to play a fun Naval sim/game, try Enigma: Rising Tide.
Also, Silent Hunter IV (USN Pacific sub ops) isn't far down the road.
My regards,
Widewing
-
I would love to try them if my pc could handle them Widewing. Im thinking hard about getting a new lappy in a few months, but that all depends on how much my IT budget will be.
-
This is really pissing me off. Im stuck in the port because no matter what I do it says "Cannot fire even if I clear the port" or something along those lines. Their website is lousy for help.
I guess you HAVE to have all positions having a weapon.
-
Ok, when you leave the port you have to click on the little yellow-orange circle thing. That will bring up a little map grid. You want area 7, that is where all the games are. You only have to have an engine, an FCS, and a Bridge Operator on a boat to leave the harbor, but you have to have guns and or torps to actually hurt other players.
Go to the Navyfield forums and I think "tips and tricks", and read the new player guide, it'll get you started better than I can.
EDIT: Yea.. typed in 'area' lol. It is area 7 on Missouri too... that is the server you want.

Im up to a Z31 DD. Woo!
-

-
It says the Koenigsberg is next in the tree. Mmm Graf Zeppelin.
-
i havent played in a while so i dont know what the tech tree looks like edit: i think the kberg comes after the Z99
-
Im up the the Z99.
-
Stayed with USA for my tech tree and just upgraded to the Fletcher. I have a radio operator that is a German navy guy and I am trying to get him some experience to start that fleet as well.
I just need to find a fleet to hook up with...
-
I'm having severe stuttering (connection problems I suppose) in the game today. Anyone else?
There hasn't been any problems until today. My connection seems to work good everywhere else. Unfortunately I haven't been able to ping the server which seems to be configured to block all ping requests. I got good pings to all the routers on the way up to the NF servers though.
-
No problems here.
Is this game based outa Korea?
