  1. Dear NF players,

     

    After a long time playing and moderating I have decided that the time has come to say goodbye. I have submitted my resignation as moderator, although I might still pop in every now and then to say hello. It has been an honour and a pleasure!

    Take care!

  2. Thank you for your post. I do my best, but I completely agree that we should have a native speaker. This is one of the reasons why we're currently recruiting new staff.

    I understand your criticism of me and I can only admit my limitations. I hope we can solve these issues in the near future. 

    That said, sometimes it's a matter of choosing between acting upon the reports that we get (I use two translators to double-check) or not acting at all. Sometimes I judged it better to act as good as I could. When we have a Chinese moderator (and hopefully a Korean one as well) East chat can be monitored better.

  3. Hello USA Navy,

    This is not a bug, but a feature. The guns themselves are different, hence they are shown differently in the game. The Italia (top picture) has 4 barrel guns mounted, the Vittorio Veneto shown on the bottom picture has 3 barrel guns. 

    There are also different looks for guns that have the same amount of barrels. 

    I hope this answers your question.

  10. Dear captains,

    Due to continious requests I am launching a new campaign to collect stats of as many ships as possible. This is a huge undertaking, with many, many possible ships to investigate. I cannot possible do this alone, so I'm asking all of you to help me in this quest.

    So, here goes. There are seven threads (one for each nation). In every thread I've made a few posts to give the example of what a post should look like. Please expand those threads by adding your own post, and please follow my format.

    We want to see screenshots of vetted (!) (so no new or mastered ships), accompanied by some useful info. At least include your setup, whether it has aaw or launchers, if launchers whether they can use mines or no, whether there is anything special about the ship (repair, for example, including the amount of repair) and most importantly: start with the name and tier of the ship, in text, above the picture!! Please post ships in battle setup, not harbour assault setup!

    How to get the pictures underneath the text if you're adding multiple ships in one post? Attach all pictures, save the post, then edit it. Then you can drag and drop the pictures to where you want them. Alternatively, you can leave them all at the bottom of the post.

    Before posting, use the search function (inbuilt in the forums or use crtl+f or whatever your computer uses) to check if the specific ship has already been posted. No duplicates!

    Let us bring our knowledge together!

     

    These are the threads per nation:

    US (USA)

    UK (Britain)

    IJN (Japan)

    KM (Germany)

    SN (Russia)

    MN (France)

    RM (Italy)

     

    Kind regards, Ibby

  11. There can be several causes as far as I'm aware.

    First, as Baldrick mentions, if the battle time drops under 60 seconds, capturing the zone is no longer possible (as you need a full minute to capture it).

    Secondly, on some maps there are turrets (aaw, guns) within the zone. If those are still intact when the capture time initiates, they will count as a ship in the zone. 

    Lastly, bomber planes and air strike/nuke planes also count as capturing ships.

    I hope this answers your question, if not please let me know. If you're posting from a computer, you should be able to attach screenshots.

  12. Hello Dindam,

    That sounds like you've been inadvertently pulled into a raid. If you press a blue tab, you end up in a raid. Usually you have teammates though!

    Is it possible that you first pressed a blue tab, then a grey one? That would be the logical explanation, I'd say...

  13. Hello folks, since there seems to be a demand for this kind of thing I figured I'd copy and paste the list of S tier ships from the 101 guide to a separate post. So here are all currently existing S tier ships (list will be updated if new ships are added). Please feel free to post screenshots in the comments with stats of S tier ships if you have them!

    - edit - I've also added the A tier ships. Please let me know if I missed any.

    Tip: follow this post, so that you're alerted when it's updated!

    N.B. the (x2) means that there is an A tier version of that ship available from both research and the shipyard. They have the same name and tier, but they are in fact different ships. The research version is always better.
