Version: Navy Field: Resurrection of the Steel Fleet 1.074
"Enjoyable for the first few hours. Quick point style."
Pros: -Only modern game of this genre.
-Supports a large volume of players.
-Graphics do the job, and then some.
-Fair variety of ships to buy/upgrade.
-Large volume of weapons to equip on your chosen ship.
-Excellent music.
-Fairly lag free.
-Ship names, it doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a nice personal touch.
-Displays great potential if...
Cons: -Extremely repetitive game scenarios.
-After the first 15 levels, the game is nothing more than an endless grind.
-Graduated system involving weapons and ships is extremely badly done, feels too much like a traditional MMORPG than a WW2 naval game.
-Crashing bugs that have survived a myriad of patches.
-Gaining credits and reputation takes far too long, you'll grow bored of the flawed system quickly, and you’ll end up trying to exploit flaws in the game. Anything to speed up advancement.
-No tangible gains from advancing in the ship tree, you'll end up avoiding the cruiser+ class vessels due to repair costs. Gaining money is far easier in the lower classed ships.
-Broken and unrealistic torpedo damage modeling. You’ll think tac.nukes were standard armament.
-Broken and unrealistic ships. (4” belt armour on destroyers?)
-Broken and unrealistic weapons. (No real sense of muzzle velocity)
-Unrealistic ship damage models. A more in-depth system could be interesting.
-Fast game play that may turn many people off; who lack quick reactions.
-No real sense of force balance, only ship displacement is counted rather than player rank. (Teams are often stacked, new players are victimized constantly by high level players in low level ships)
-No sense of gains after a battle is won or lost, no persistence in the game world.

Version: Navy Field: Resurrection of the Steel Fleet 1.115
Pros: I first played Navy Field when it was still in its beta stage and it was at best OK. As a game it has a fairly unique yet simple premise: buy a ship, go to battle, get points/money and then buy a better ship.
As you and your team-mates steam around the playing field, trying to blow the enemy out of the water, all action is viewed from a slightly skewed birds-eye angle.
The variety of potential ships to purchase is huge, and the customisation, e.g. guns, armour, etc., only adds to this.
Cons: The main flaw of the game is the waiting involved before each battle. This can often be 10-15 minutes. Then there is the inevitable arguing over "unbalanced" teams and what ships should go were. This goes on and on and usually decends into insults. An auto-balance function would seem to slove this instead of leaving it down to an individual.
Lag and bug issues (may be sorted in the release version - doubt it though)
Rude gamers
Lack of a comprehensive manual
Slightly repetitive
Personally I don't think it's worth forking out the cash every month. Then again, I point blank refuse to play ANY game that requires subscriptions. Some people loved this game! It's worth the download as the 30 levels you get with the trial will give you HOURS of gaming to help you decide.

"Lots of bugs and jerk moderators"
Pros: Its is ok for about a few hours
Cons: More bugs that you can count. Moderators that issue out bans and suspend accounts for stuff that even me as a state police officer find to be useless.
The bottom line is this game is crap. If they work out the bugs and not have to worry about even speaking because your account will be banned if you cross the wrong person. All of those hours of play for nothing.
