I like NF as a simulation game.  

Technical & Tactical aspects are fantastic.

PLEASE, stop turning NF into a Fantasy Game !!


All these points are important, except new nation  :

1. We will minimize the crash rate and improve compatibility with different version of Windows, this is always our first priority to optimize your gaming experience

2. Blitzkrieg and Skirmish mode will be adjusted for new players, bonus will be provided for playing in these game modes

3. Blitzkrieg sailor, yes we know you waited for long, due to technical issues we were not able to release it in 2017. This year we will let those who enjoy small ship battles able to get them finally

4. World at War, Great Battle 2 and Op Convoy will be fixed with adjustment on XP and playing method.  

5. Habour Assault and game desync problem will be look into.  Mini HA mode(Improved Occupational mode) will be ready for fleetless players.  TeamNF fleet will attack different habours on request and provide gifts for fleets who defend successfully

6. New Event team will host mini events along with community on weekly basis, to enhance community relationship and more opportunities for players to collect different prizes including real life prizes

7. New nation

8. New technical team for faster game support, forum will be rebuilt with better customer support module

9. Real life tournament in late 2018 (more details TBC)

10. New ship tuning items, ship skin and ships, to enhance the game play on all different classes of ships

p.s. don't forget to add "To solve NF BUGs"  as last point  

The nations of the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) although they declared the war in the last instance of the conflict to the Axis for then these nations had of an important fleet of ships the same and same situation the nations of Peru and Brazil, great part of the ships although they were of European manufacture and North American others were of own shipyards like of Argentina and Brazil, would be very interesting to take into account to realize a new nation these countries more the participation of Spain

If you need a deeper work on all the classes of ships of these nations you can count on my participation


Las naciones del Cono Sur (Argentina, Chile y Uruguay) si bien declararon la guerra en ultima instancia del conflicto al Eje para ese entonces estas naciones disponian de una importante flota de buques lo mismo y misma situacion las naciones de Peru y Brasil , gran parte de los buques si bien eran de manufactura Europea y norte Americana otros eran de astilleros propios como de Argentina y Brasil , seria muy interesante tener en cuenta para realizar una nueva nacion estos paise mas la participacion de España

Si usted necesita un tarbajo mas profundo sobre todas la clases de buques de estas naciones puede contar con mi participacion

The awkward thing about the Netherlands as a "one and a half" tier naval power is that they have a fleet that is somewhere inbetween what the neutral faction would be and what a full sized faction would be.

Since I had some fun with the topic a few days ago I can post a deeper set of thoughts and analysis on how different ships would be implemented in navyfield and how to fill the gaps in the ship tree. As well as how the dutch nation would operate within navyfield. (Spoiler: It's going to be a maneuver oriented nation, not a bunch of tanks or glass cannons, unless you are talking about the submarines with it's snorkles allowing for diesel power underwater and their deadly kill ratios against other submarines and shipping.)

From Wikipedia:

Conrad Helfrich, gave instructions to wage war aggressively. His small force of submarines sank more Japanese ships in the first weeks of the war than the entire British and US navies together, an exploit which earned him the nickname "Ship-a-day Helfrich". (!!) The Dutch force were in fact the first to sink an enemy warship; On 24 December 1941, HNLMS K XVI torpedoed and sank the Japanese destroyer Sagiri.

Reading that really inflames my interests.

The nations of the Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) although they declared the war in the last instance of the conflict to the Axis for then these nations had of an important fleet of ships the same and same situation the nations of Peru and Brazil, great part of the ships although they were of European manufacture and North American others were of own shipyards like of Argentina and Brazil, would be very interesting to take into account to realize a new nation these countries more the participation of Spain

if it would be very good idea to create a new nation with a fleet of the named countries !!


si seria muy buena idea crear nueva nacion con flota de los paises nombrados !!

A deeper look into a hypothetical dutch ship tree, part 1 of 5.

Destroyers.

Dutch destroyers are typically small, light, and specialized towards scouting roles and anti submarine warfare. Built with the pacific and the defense of the Dutch East Indies in mind these things are quick, and well suited for escort and support duties. You won't find gunboats here like the Kriegsmarine would have. 

The stat's ive included are from wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt.

Admiralen-Class

Destroyer

DD1

Speed: 36 knots

1337-1666 ton load

31,000hp (23,000 kw)

4x1 120mm guns

2z3 533mm torpedo tubes

Scout Plane

A Van Ghent remodel technically exist but doesn't change much aside from soft stats.

Overall, seems to be a pretty bog-standard DD, which historically could sport a scout plane.

van Kinsbergen-Class

Unique Sloop

SL2 (DD2)

Speed: 26 knots

1760-2388 ton load

17,000 ihp (13,000 kW)

4x 120mm guns

2x depth charge

2x Mousetraps/Hedgehogs

This Sloop of War is a strange one, with the size and armament of a DD but with an underpowered engine. Why it was named a Sloop is beyond me, because aside from the engine, it's a DD. Only one was built, making it a little unique.

Perhaps one could switch the 120mm guns with 102mm guns, and then put the DD3 engine in it to lift the speed from 26 to 34 knots? Makes an interesting ship if implemented this way.

Gerard Callenburgh Class

Destroyer

DD3

Speed: 38 knots

1604-2228 ton load

2x2 120mm guns

1x1 120mm guns

2x4 533mm torpedo tubes

Scout Plane

It's a good but unremarkable Destroyer. Carries a scout plane. 

This is the version the germans captured when the netherlands fell, and it should have options for both dutch and german guns, making this potentially a better ship then the DD4 in blitz rooms, whereas the DD4 will do better in rooms with submarines. Can't mount the british 102mm guns.

Remodel:

Isaac Sweers

Support Destroyer / Destroyer Leader

DD4

Speed: 38 knots

1604-2228 ton load

45.000 ihp (33,500kw)

3x2 102mm guns

2x4 533mm torpedo tubes

4 Hedgehog racks

Scout Plane

This thing is perfect for anti submarine warfare and carries a scoutplane. 

It was towed to Britain and given british armaments, so it should have the option to mount the dutch 120mm or british 102mm guns, but not the 120mm german guns.

I love the idea of a Neutral harbor for The nations of the Southern Cone. (Of course, I'm Argentinian)

But Roeben0 is making a really big effort to make his Dutch nation works.

Other than that, coupl years ago players were planning a mix for neutral. Maybe it helps:

Originally From PictWarrior1

BB and BC - Battleship and Battlecruiser

Yavuz class (Turkey)                5 - Dual 11" 50cal / 23,100 tons

1047 class (Dutch)                  3 - Triple 11.1" (45, 50, or 54.5 cal)  / 27,500 - 29,251 tons

Minas Gerais class (Brazil)         6 - Dual 12" 45cal / 19,200 tons

Rivadavia class (Argentina)       6 - Dual 12" 50 cal  / 27,500 tons

Almirante Latorre class (Chile)  5 - Dual 14" 45cal / 25,000 tons

CA - Heavy Cruiser

Sverige class (Sweden)                  2 - Dual 11" 45cal / 7,185 tons

Shropshire class (Australia)            4 - Dual 8"  50cal / 9830 tons

Vainamoinen class (Finland)           2 - Dual 10" 46cal / 3900 tons

Norge class (Norway)                     2 - Dual 8.2" 44cal / 4166 tons

Dhonburi class (Siam)                    2 - Dual 8" ?cal / 2265 tons

General Belgrano class (Argentina)  5 - Triple 6" 47cal / 10,234 tons

Pueyrredon class (Argentina)          2 - Single 10" 40cal  / 6840 tons

Capitan Prat class (Chile)               4 - Single 9.4" 30cal / 6902 tons

CL - Light Cruiser

One thing NF needs to do is introduce more DD's, CL's, and CA's in the game. Increase their range. Reduce their damage so they can hit say BB3/4 range. It is easy to set their ranges for Blitz and GB. Increase them for GB.

That would be so much fun.

I mean World of Warships you can easily shoot other ships. Why not here?

As far as the New Nation. They Just need to add the nation. People will play.

They also need to limit the amount of BB6 and BB7 in game. It has been stated before. That alone is killing the game.
