Afternoon NF/SDE and everyone else! Basically I have not played in probably at least
2 years and figured I should come back and take a look at whats new. So..... whats new? Whats been added/changed/taken away?
Who is still here from the old days and does anyone remember me? I was for a while a member of AE any of those guys left?
Look forward to hearing from everyone!!

You picked a crappy time to come back bro'. Much of the server population can't play at the moment thanks to massive lag spikes of the 20 to 30 second variety.

As to whats been added...... alot :)

Added:
T5 Subs.
T4 fighters.
T5 scouts.
French Navy
Soviet Navy
Italian navy will be added soonish.
Huge ammount of (often overpowered) EBBs.

Changed:
Way fighter stats are calculated... now Bomber growth does nothing for fighters and USN FPs rule the sky.
Damaging yourself no longer incurs a Exp penalty.
Servers were megred.

If you have 100 vets and max experts you should be rather fine.
Oh and there is this callendar thing to the left you can use to get some olives (new currency for premium items).

All in all it looks some some good changes and some bad, back when I was here the forum was filled with stupid, "OMG LETS ADD SUBS BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS THEM" stupid posts and the like, guess they listened? Not sure how I feel about being able to simply buy a battleship though.... Oh well, is anyone still here from the old days? Oberst etc?

Edit* Looks like some of the old clans are still here, I still see Jedi and Nato, and holy crap the Spartans made it this long?

Well subs brought 2 things to NF.

BS deaths because sub torps go through Bulge as if it were nothing and 2 volleys sink just about everything (1 volley in case of IJN high tier subs)

More BS deaths due to premium ASW weapons.
Seriously... if you see a PCA (or just about any small ship) with strange box like things instead of guns then Kill it before it get's close or face the consequencess.

hey there carmicdy, NF is a dying game......they went the wrong direction of adding content rather than listening to their customer base.

ASW=Anti Sub Warfare? So like Depth charges? And that's really disappointing to hear, I remember the game being about a pretty decent amount of knowledge and technical skill.... not who could buy everything.

Well there are 3 ASW weapons and 2 of them cost credits while one is premium.

DC (Deapth Charges)
4 second timer (explodes about 5 seconds after it hits the water)
Short range but usually instakills subs if they don't get out of the way before it goes boom.

Note: Subs can critical dive and avoid any damage from ASW weapons as the cost of a constant DP drain.
It takes them about 3 seconds to crit dive.

HH (Hedgehogs but the name varies)
2 second timer (3 second delay total)
Somewhat weak and has a slow reload (60 seconds) but can be fired at subs at range in packs of 5.

PHH (Premium Hedgehogs)
2 second timer (3 second delay)
30 second reload time. Fired in packs of 7. Each shell has 3 times the explosive power of regular HH (something around 900 per shell.

Basically subs are overpowered and overpowered PHH counters overpowered subs.
PHH are not that dangerous to larger ships unless the user has epic accuracy.
