I have said so, and will say it again - Navyfield NA with refined UI, automation, graphics, information and better promotion could rival WoWS for the best naval warfare experience online.
It has nothing to do with WoWS's server population, or its matchmaking. NF needs to either get completely revamped, have all its major technical issues fixed and/or revise its graphics, then promote as aggressively as WoWS to get back on the top line. The bitter truth is that NFNA right now is not up to par with any modern MMO, and the sooner we stop clinging to the old glories, the better.
