Community Insight:
The steering wheel stretches out and we can no longer turn. It happens when we tap the camera or switch ships. Good game tho.
So fun and so much potential! This game just needs a little more attention for many of the issues mentioned in other reviews.
We have spend Hundred of hours and money grinding and improving our battleship until just now, it crash and couldnt enter the game now! We refuse to believe the game is broken and forgotten.
We really enjoy this game .for you invinter in a next update you should add lights in the bridge so it looks realistic manly because we only build passenger ships that were in the war you should add the lights in the bridge for the passenger ships because it is really dark at night and needs the lights in the bridge so we can see ware Im going but it is a good game it just needs the lights in the bridge.you should add more funnels to choose from like funnels that were used on passenger ships and add smoke coming out of the funnels to if you can and more ships to choose from and a skeleton body it will be good if the funnels had black smoke coming out of the tops of them.
A battle that has a ship that includes emeralds if you beat that battle with the ships that have emeralds included to buy them you can get emeralds from those ships so you dont really have to buy emeralds, but you can still buy emeralds if you want to. If you could do this we would really love it. Its kind of frustrating that every once in a while we can get emeralds, so we decide to coming up with this so a ship that has emeralds you can get emeralds from the ship if you sink it thank you if you do this, we would give you $80,000 if we could find you and can you add 500mm double guns also can you add a choose Vanguard and HMS hood to the new ships thing and also HMS dreadnought and the USS Arizona to it also.
Every time we click start it quits us out of the game.
Good game since it old and a memory you should increase reward 10x.
We like building games but the graphics please update it.

Our hype and our friends hype for this game, is gone.
It needs some tiny adjustments and a update!!! But honestly since other reviews are talking about warship craft we say this game wont kick us out and that game will So cool game and the animation needs improvement the building ui and how you move around need some fixing too but still its amazing. Also make elevator and helicopter buyable with coins.
Just add an update that adds color and terrain its a fun game and it could do better with an update.
Does anyone know the names of the songs played in the menus.
Just make things like planes cheaper.
Its an awesome game we just think the game would need a mode to where you can make your own ship wih no cost but cant make money either.
We agree with theinventer 23 that there should be a level with emeralds please.
So we want to play this game on our phone, the games great it's our favorite game but we're playing on a crapy 9 year old we pad so we're having trouble loading the missions. So yeah can you please make it available on phones especially on android anyway great game really love it.
We like this game it reminds us of warship craft but theres a change we need added a delete button because we will get extra ships after having something we need to be changed and no way to delete them please add a way to delete unwanted ships thats simple.
This game is great everything is good but we have to get a parent to buy emeralds so we could buy the F18. We wish there was a way to get emeralds without paying. Thanks :).
This game really needs more updates because it is kinda getting boring, also we need torpedo bombers that cost gold, and it needs smoke coming out of the Funnel.
Could you please add a 20 millimeter mini gun to the game and please make the aa guns fire rage faster and can you add more modern planes like more Russia planes and a Apache just need more weapons but over all great game just needs to be updated and so bugs fixed.
This is a really good game but our one request is that the sub rudder needs a function so it can dive the submarine, if you read this and take our idea then thanks a bunches.
( This is very long though please read ) First suggestions, defeating the AEGIS destroyer would give you 2000 Coins as earlier and 1 Emerald. Also add an exchange rate from emeralds to coins and coins to emeralds, 6500Coins=1 Emerald 1 Emerald=9000 Coins Since emeralds are more valuable. Add a restore purchases and data restore so you can get your ships back Okay so this game obviously has better graphics, than Warship craft and it has more modern ships, however it is not as realistic, if planes get shot once and land, are on the ground they explode regardless of repairs, and in the air they just start to fall then go on fire, also when they start to fall they legit just look like a helicopter if the engines turned off and the propellers stopped working, they just go in fire and fall, in warship craft damaged planes could land and wouldnt explode unless they were already on fire. And warship craft had way more things and even the ability to add decorative sailors onboard. So do these things and our review will be doubt free, so first of all, add sailors on anti aircraft guns, this would be awesome Japanese air craft guns would have sailors in Japanese uniforms manning the guns, so guns like the 25mm Single and the US Oerilkon ( FF20mm Single gun ) would show sailors, and yes sailors operating US guns would have US uniforms, and make the plane crashing more realistic, they would be able to roll, just proceed downwards and possibly explode in mid air if shot a few more times while on fire, and the AI seaplanes are too over powered, the spotter sea planes you get dont have machine guns and dont shoot down enemy planes period, planes like the OS2U and the Mitsubishi F1M wouldnt be even able to get close to a bomber or torpedo bomber because they were so slow, plus that they only had One 30 Caliber Machine gun that was outdated and easy to jam, they also had very limited ammo, the Japanese sometimes used caliber machine guns that were barely larger than a rifles on the Mitsubishi F1M. So your sea planes would be able to shoot down other sea planes stop allowing sea planes to shoot down bombers and torpedo bombers, just fighters and other sea planes, yours would have a better chance at shooting them down, not because we want a easy win, its simply because they were too over powered before. All of the bombers and torpedo bombers featured in this game had gunners, the TBF Avenger had a rear gunner and a gunner at the bottom, the B5N2 only had a rear gunner these gunners should be able to fire on incoming planes, not just those who have engaged them, also ones that are just in range, and yes the TBF avenger should be able to shoot planes underneath it since the 1942/1943+Version had a gunner at the bottom, ( This applies to all bombers and torpedo Bombers! ) since these warship crafting games arent exactly realistic, and allow you to make youre own ships, add medium bombers, they should cost about 7000 in coins and also would have gunners, sea planes wouldnt be able to engage, planes like the BF109 could shoot them down, including the Wildcat and the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero. Add the US A26 Marauder, the US B25 Mitchell, the Japanese G4M1 Betty, and the German He-111. All gunners would be able to fire on incoming planes, these would require two runways close together or one large runway ( make that a new runway in the store ) the large runway would cost 4000, something affordable since the bombers would cost so much ( If you do decide to add Medium bombers do not exceed the cash limit of 7000, though torpedo bombers cost Emeralds, its only because torpedos from youre ship have poor accuracy and are hard to aim. And seriously please add medium Bombers ( Please do not make the Medium bombers Emeralds only! If you do theyd have to be 3 Emeralds ) jets would be unable to shoot down Medium WWII bombers not because of the gunners or the range because thats just weird, VLSs would easily decimate bombers, but youd need to hit it twice, only anti aircraft guns and fighters would be able to shoot down Medium bombers, though apart from VLSs as stated earlier ( Machine guns like the singles would not be able to shoot them down, only damage them, if theyre like the Japanese 3 Single AAA they could shoot them down, with Anti Aircraft artillery ( FLaK ) it would have the medium difficulty to shoot them down, with 3 flak guns it would be Normal, but with machine guns that are updated versions of the single ( So basically the US bofors gun and the Japanese 3 Singles would have a hard time shooting them down and for it to be normal difficulty you would need at least 7 Of them to actually have a good chance of shooting them down. ) so please add the following, hoping you will make this in the future! ( EDIT! PLEASE READ! ) : There should be British Bombers and torpedo bombers, including a Medium bomber, preferably the bomber version of the Mosquito British Medium Bomber. ( it had a second crewman to act as the bombardier, also British sailor uniforms would be shown on the British QF2 Pounder ( Pom Pom gun called by crew members )and do not add Heavy bombers! It would be nice but its too overpowered imagine seeing a B17G rain like 34 Bombs on youre ship and decimate all youre aircraft, plus that they might cost like 14000 in coins or 9 Emeralds ( we know we mentioned this, but seriously dont add this, Jets shouldnt be able to shoot down Medium bombers since jets have a wide variety of shooting down everything, we launched the best Jet fighter in the game once and it shot down a bunch of aircraft, and it went so fast it glitched into a plane and it exploded, it completely unharmed and it reloaded super fast, this was on the double aircraft carrier mission, and he shot all of them down, by the time we used our VLS on enemy ships the sky was empty and all aircraft but ours were destroyed. ( add a mission with Thank you for reading this super long review, dang it was long.
We noticed that when you remove the parts for bow it looks like the amatsukaze or the Akizuki irl.
When you place blocks some dont delete and guns aim is just stupid. You should have a aiming tool that comes with the game for like 60 or 290 coins. And also can ships like break in half. Please change. Can everything in the game please be free. So people can design ships and use them on missions. Even the Ships that are already made like Mogami or Yamato. Please make everything be free. We think you should make like Yamato or other legendary ships keep the price, but a tad bit lower. We take this game as a game where you design warship and its parts for FREE and you can test them on missions to make coins to unlock legendary ships. And there should more coins on each level. Like the mission single destroyer should have 200 coins. Please make an update with our ideas and love your game very very very very much.
We love the game but it has a few downers like you cant buy any modern anything without spending money. Not fake money real money. We just am asking for one fighter jet that does not require us to spend money.
We really love this game and we hope you can add more updates to it like more planes and more parts and aa guns and custom missions and more.
Ive looked for this type of game for so long but its a buggy rek we dont know how to spell derp nor grammar but if someones looking for ideas of a naval game use this type of game mechanics and make it good where you can earn crystals and not as tedious and include modern weapons plz.
We think this is a great game but we think (example) in Minecraft there is a creative mode) this game should have a creative mode because we really came to this game to build war ships but we dont have enough money so add a creative mode… Also we really wanna play with the Bismarck… Also please add the u.s.s arizona we know it wasnt in world war 2 but its be so awesome!!!. Thanks for reading.
We really enjoy this game even though the building process of a ship in this game is hard but after a while, we got use to it. We just hope that this game stil updating and active.
Just before we mention the problem this has to be our favorite mobile games of all time but one single problem:aircraft.Even though we said one problem its really two things, just one major problem.The minor problem is that dive bombers (the ONLY aircraft type that doesnt cost money)NEVER hits.Usually we go to single air carrier to get some gold and Ive only had 2 aircraft hit it EVER.The major problem is that you can only get dive bombers without having to pay for emeralds.Because of this sometimes we think if we actually like this game or not because no one likes watching their selves get hammered by something you cant even get without paying.But still, other than that its still an awesome game.
There should be more ships added to the game like the USS Yorktown, Stalingrad class battleship, and the HMS lion. And Missions from ww2 where you can earn up to 2 emeralds.
This game is so fun we love the physics, the detail on the ships in levels, the game has multiplayer and the ability to custom make or redesign any ship you want to. Now the bad news this game its not up to date and some parts incorrect about the info like the f35 it has stealth capability and is more advanced than the f22. Their is also new missile turrets in the real world the RAM and Seasparrow can those please be added. Also can there be an emerald reward for beating modern carrier battle group. This game would be amazing if there were more uk planes in the game. That is all of our feedback thank you for your time and we hope to see this added.
Ok. This game is good. Please add jets or helicopters that cost gold, not emeralds. When you sail a ship not in combat, you can add another ship, right? Well we want you to be able to add at LEAST 4 other ships. 4+1=5. We HAVE AN ENTIRE NAVY AT MY HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, can the flags and searchlights be bought with gold please.
We love to play this game out there are no fighters planes torpedo or jets or helicopters that cost gold so could you please add some also make it so the SH-60K flys higher over ships because we get annoyed when it starts to attack then runs into the enemy ship blowing up also can you make it so the planes with back gunners can fire to defend from enemy fighters and make it when a plane jet or helicopter crashes into a ship it deals damage to the ship also add like a ju87c with a torpedo as well and please add 40mm bofors and add those half circle sponsons but make it to where you can put like a anti aircraft gun it there also up the rate of fire for some aa guns and make it sit that they also target ships if no aircraft is in range also we feel like if you have more than one elevator planes should be able to use all because it annoying to have two elevators but planes only use one.
There are some glitches with moving blocks and their are previous blocks not moving pls fix.
As we said, this game is very cool and realistic. It allows much more than Warship or Battleship Craft, but also has some flaws. The armor in this is somewhat weak compared to normal hull strength, and there are flaws with the editors undo option, being only able to undo delete and move actions. Also, too many parts arent free, which is somewhat annoying, but understandable. However, at least the older counterparts of those aforementioned weapons should be added which could be bought with in-game money (e.g. A Cold War era twin launcher for the VLS and harpoon missiles, and biplanes for the fighters and torpedo bombers from WW2).
We have played both warship craft and naval craft. When we compare the two together, we find that this game is very detailed. We really liked Warship craft, a game which you made look bad. We like the attention to detail. The Yamato looks like the Yamato, aegis looks like the real destroyer. We do have some suggestions- 1- When making a ship for the first time, in the parts section, maybe you can add some free weapons and parts that you have a limited amount of. 2- we are no video game expert, but if possible, can you make there be less lag in the parts/ships section? 3- can you add a comma in the number that stands for how much gold you have? We make the mistake of confusing 1,000 for 10,000 we think these updates will improve the game, which we fear may not happen because the game is already really good. Definitely recommend it.
After a few weeks of playing the game started crashing a lot and we couldnt get on or anything Ive spent about $50 on the game and we cant do anything. The game keeps crashing. Please fix soon.
We were exited getting modern aircraft for our ships. But when they tried to land(X-47B, Su-33), they would circle for infinity. This can get annoying and only started to take affect just yesterday. This game is extremely fun and we would hate to see it get ruined like this. Could you fix it.
We love this game and we play a lot and really enjoy everything about it but can you guys add more parts? We know there is a lot but we've used practically all of them and it looks like you haven't updated in a WHILE but we still like your game and hope you see this comment, we would love some new main guns or secondary's to make new replicas of battleships that is not possible as of right now.
This is a really fun game but since the last update we installed for it it has become very glitchy to the point that its not fun to play anymore. They are long long overdue for anouther update for this game.
This is a great game, the idea that you can make any ship you want is great, we have made some really cool ships. We once had a problem with the add delete then redeu glitch that randomly closes your game. But we fixed it by acting like it was a normal piece by adding color and tapping on it and just tapping on the piece to try and delete it. And that tricked the programming into recognizing that it was a real piece. So if you have had any trouble with that. We hope this helps. So this is probably one of our favorite games, but we hope the devs update this and add new ships and parts to it. Plzzz do.
NavalCraft is a good game but it's not responsive this is worrying because if you know what happened to battle ship craft we hope it's not the same case for NavalCraft but the we highly doubt this though but let's hope there not responsive permanently but if continue updating they can add so much like tons of aircraft we're now going to give suggestions for the game first aircraft (we don't know many aircraft besides us) F3F but in gold because if you look at the weapons and itself it's not even worth the emerald F6F corsair F4U F8F TBD SB2C now for some 2 emerald aircraft ideas F7F because if you look at it you will understand B25 BTD because it can hold 2 torps and for the Graf zeppelin there's a biplane don't know what it's called it's a bomber moving on to ships we think a smoke screen would be a cool feature now about the dual guns when shooting manual it shoots regularly but in auto air it shoots aa shells and speaking of guns there can be different versions of a gun like the us 5 inch single there should be a feature where they have different versions of the gun next the ships that you can buy in game no offense the people who made the ships but there crap if you want hyper realistic ships then go on YouTube and search up NavalCraft builds he's very skilled next up about the audio it needs work the aa guns need it the most there could be such a bright future if they keep updating the game if you read this far thanks.
The game keeps crashing randomly can you please fix it keep up them updates to its been like 2 years thanks.
We found this app right now and so far we are fairly excited to downloading this app. We read one comment that said money is a problem in to go against it, we thought then you should play warship craft instead because we have the Yamato and aircraft carrier in absurd 5 hoard in the game. Before we finish, can we buy already made ships? If we cant, plz add do that and can we get any gun or weapon without having to pay like warship craft.
We really like how you get to build your own AIRCRAFT CARRIERS(our favorite naval ship) and destroyers and planes.Its a great time killer and just so much fun, but we really wish and hope you can make a mode(thats completely free to use) that the parts dont cost anything and be able to post it on something for user creations other than that, keep up the great work.
When you fight the Modern ships just build a HUGE and we mean huge boat to gust take hits and just almost go down in 1000 missiles also make sure to shield the guns aircraft are not good when fighting modern unless you have modern aircraft. Overall great game to download if you just figure out the best ship for you. You are all set.
We loved this game ever since we got it for the first time we have made some purchases that we didn't regret unlike warship craft we have a fleet ready to take on anything and if all our ships were combined we would have a large ship with many aircraft a lot of AA guns many large turrets the ones that cost 8400 like at least more then 20 have a large number of engines specifically aircraft carriers because they offer and large speed to weight ratio along with a few missiles 6 phalanx a lot of armor and other things we forgot.
This game has potential dont throw it away.
