Ok, so I recently re-downloaded Navyfield after months of not playing it.
After getting re-aquanted, there were many issues that I saw with gameplay that I think could be easily changed.
1. BB's Should be REQUIRED to have scout planes on their ship. Hey, let's face it, it sucks when you have no scout planes on your team, so you end up shooting into the darkness. It results in getting owned easily and losing the overall battle.
An easy way to fix this would be to require BB's to have a recon plane on their ship. For those who do not currently have one, there should be a minimum level rookie pilot that they can purchase for a few credits. There is only one of these per player, however, so then we dont have CV players buying a crapton for their mini airforce.
2. Ships that are past the DD stage (CL's and up) MUST use manual FCS. Ok, it's really annoying when you're playing a game and all of a sudden a big 'ol County CA comes "FFFFFFFFFFFFICTORY"ing down the center of the game map. Having Auto FCS at these higher game stages should not happen, as it creates more charging than actual strategy. Not only that, but NF is a whole different game if you constantly are just using the mouse and spacebar spam...that should only be for the people on DD's and FF's who are still learning the game.
All this takes is to just not have Auto FCS be available on CL's and up.
3. GET RID OF HOBBIT WAR FOR BLITZ (or at least make it a little bigger) Being an avid CA user, I have come across a problem while playing Blitzkreig...it's WAAYYY too freaking small. As soon as the round starts, you have DD's coming into your line of sight, even before you get a chance to really get going. This is uber annoying, as it just allows bum-rushing to take the place of real strategy.
I remember back before they had Hobbit War, when Blitzes were more like lower- level Great Battles. Back then I loved playing in Blitzkreig, but now it just flat out sucks.
A way to fix 'er up would be to either take it out altogether, or make it bigger. Even just making it a non-default Blitz map would help! I'm sorry, but Hobbit War is just a mass of n00bs running into each other spamming the spacebar as they madly click all over the place. It's ok for FF's and DD, but CA's? I dont think so.
Just a few thoughts. I really think that there's some good in this, but I'd like to hear other ways to improve/make the game a little better
EDIT: As i read through the comments, I see a very valid point that #2 is flawed. Instead of taking Auto out altogether, maybe put a nerf on it instead
