"tomy, bb4-6 deserve to 1 hit us cos they worked their way to around lvl100 unlike the subs
who only need to get to lvl38 to hav invincibility and 6 noob tubes. and king im thinling
about the overall balance of the game not just the grey sticks that go do cheap shots on
everyone. btw we need at least a ss5 for every nation (xcept maybe MN) b4 we can
introduce pss. the eu server dont hav ss4 yet"
(Y'know, I was writing an extremely sarcastic and malevolent post, however, I decided instead I'll attempt to
approach you with a positive attitude. Even with a six-foot pole.)
Hello. Welcome to NavyField. You must have heard about subs from a friend, fleetmate, or homocidal-raging
BB player. I am here to tell you the facts about NF submarines, no bias, no spam.
We can obviously agree that level 1-38 is the same for SS and BB. Same ships, a lot of the time. After 38, the
BB line continues doing what it has done for 38 levels-- Blitz, AA, whatever, keep getting new ships to keep t
interesring until the player begins using their BB. For subs, however, the beginning is much more bleak. The
exp drop is immediately obvious--getting more than 8k exp in an SS1 in GBII is quite a feat, while getting
below it is reason for concern in an AA boat at the same level. Not to mention SS1 is litterally useless, as it
has air to get accross to the line on a good day--a VERY good day, because the enemy line would have to be
half as far away! The torp launchers are pitiful, too. The SS2 at mid-40's is a step-up, capable of getting to
the line some of the time with reasonable speed and firepower. But if your target has bulge, well, guess who
does essentially nothing this game! But hey, you're an SS2, so you're strong against unarmored targets.
Anyone without bulge these days deserves it, anyways. The SS3 is really a nice ship, coming in the mid-60's,
(so you have to use that SS2 a lot, especially considering the still-DD level exp,) and has the air to get to the
line and be able to do something. You also have the firepower to hit anything, but coming accross a BB with
150 bulge will ruin your day, guarenteed. The SS4, coming in the mid-80's, is like an SS3 on steriods. It has
more air, speed, survivability, and in most cases, power.
Wait a minute! I see something. The BB's start at 50-60....hey....the subs really start at mid-late 40's with
SS2! And subs get less exp, so it evens out.
Now then, because I wrote this in a lethargic trance of sleepiness over the past hour, I might have gotten off
topic, and there will probably be spots where my typing.......degraded. So please understand if you come
accross such things.
Tedd.
