Unlike that tank game, you don't need 5-6 different crews to drive different tank.

In NF, you only need one set crew and you're probably good for all CL/CA/BB line.

An SS crew will work for all SS line, and so does CV.

Welcome to the game. nf-guides.com should answer your basic questions about choosing a nation and earning (the right to buy) new ships. In addition to that, allow me to share a few tips that I found helpful when I started:


Don't spend your credits on anything you don't really need at lower levels. Things you will need credits for includes buying new ships when you level up to them, buying guns and ammo, and repairing your ships. You can sell ships and guns back, but you don't get a full refund.

Reloading ammo and repairing your ship after battle happens automatically by default, but it still costs credits, though at lower levels repairs and ammo are cheap. The only expensive ammo is for the 7.2" Mark 10 Projector LL (AKA hedgehogs or HH). You'll learn quickly that HH are popular, hated, less effective than actual guns, and very expensive to use for new players.

Don't spend your points needlessly either. Classing up sailors becomes very expensive at about level 20+, and you don't really earn lots of points until higher levels. If you can't afford to class a sailor up on time and he levels up as a lower class, he will lose out on stats upgrades permanently.

A bigger reason for conserving your points and credits is because you can't trade with other players unless you at least 150k of each (or, 50k of each when your bridge operator hits level 30). Many established players are willing to donate points to help new players, but you need to manage your resources carefully or you won't even be allowed to trade with them to accept their charity.

Don't invest too many points or credits into your first crew, because there's a good chance you'll learn much more as you play, and you'll decide you want to be a different nation or you need a different crew setup or whatever. It took me a couple crew restarts before I really built a solid foundation for a high level crew.

*Edit to add*
You'll do yourself a huge favour if you learn to use manual firing controls sooner rather than later. To use manual firing, you have to sell the "auto" FCS from a ship and buy an "aiming" one.

Ok i see some the nations arnt listed what are the SN and MN pro & cons???

Also judging but post counts the look the least played atm?

Also whats the diff between the aiming and range one?

P.S. manul aim seems pretty clunky to me....

There's three end-games to plan for. You'll either want to be thinking CV, BB or SS. Most people recommend the battleship route to start with, and everyone I spoke with pushed me heavily to go either USN or RN BBs as they're supposedly the most noob-friendly. RN battleships are more robust, and USN is well-balanced with terrific fighter planes, giving you options to branch out into other ship lines with a shared crew.

Subs require special crews and weird stat/class combinations to hit their peak potential, and they cap out at a lower level. Carriers can really rake in the credits but they play more like an RTS and pilots are especially stat-sensitive.

If you want to go the gunship route, the tier 6 battleships have nine support slots and two pairs of gunner slots (two of which you might want to use for repairmen instead of gunners, depending on your nation). Some good advice I was given for that is to level two BOs along with your crew. It'll let you see more different kinds of ships, give you time to level your big crew on the small ships, and your main gunner pair will out-level your other sailors (which is important for accuracy). If you set out on that plan, make sure you get some opinions on which types and numbers of support sailors you'll want. The nation specific forums have some good thoughts for planning if you're up for some searching.

Or you could do what I did, and level to 30 about 3 different times, selling your non-yellow-named sailors through the in-game trade system to get some credits and some points back so you can afford to start over (and over).
