Her horrible gun fire angles necessitate that she swing out and show a lot more broadside in order to bring the weight of fire to bear on targets. Well, I guess that settles that. Excellent AA firepower, equivalent to a tier VIII American battleship. Main Battery: Twelve 356mm/50 guns in 4x3 turrets in an A-B-X-Y superfiring configuration.Secondary Battery: Sixteen 127mm/38 guns in 8x2 turrets in superfiring pairs on either side of the ship facing fore and aft. Florida wins this battle hands down. You can find a Pow Wow somewhere close to you! The LSU Tigers womens basketball team strung together its second-straight win since a disappointing loss to South Carolina on Sunday, beating Florida on the road 90-79. I dunno what's going on with California's turrets with her Freedom camouflage. Same with cruisers - they didn't have to cower behind islands like now, they could fire and fade away. ET. I think she's too soft to be good enough to be a true BB and that makes it doubly hard when paired at top or mid tier where you are expected to be the beater for your team. Her 356mm AP rounds overmatch a maximum of 24mm worth of plate and there's a whole lot of structural steel within her matchmaking that's 25mm or thicker. Usually it comes down to the captain to decide if a ship is worth it or not. The totals have gone OVER in 3 of Queens' last 5 games. After an impressive week that saw the Tigers go 3-1-1, Auburn begins a new week by welcoming in Florida A&M to Plainsman Park for a Instead, it's so much thinned out swill with a rancid aftertaste, leaving you to wonder what could have been. Queens are 2-3 in their last 5 games. Very slow top speed of 20.5 knots and poor handling as a result despite her smaller turning circle radius. This is largely owing to what should be her main selling feature being laughable. The Wildcats score just 1.4 fewer points per game (67.4) than the Gators give up (68.8). In particular, the Florida Keys is an excellent place to snorkel. Florida, on the other hand, would be much more enjoyable if WebFlorida has an improved dispersion formula, but poor sigma. That depends on the player. Aside from a few times, the last run of Narai had me using no other vessel than Florida. I've very much enjoyed using her there. As pointed out, she is squishy. If you nose on to MO and the CO that shows later on (and they take a liking to you), they'll very easily citadel you. If you angle properly however, you will bounce them all day long (minus the occasion stray that can and will hurt). Avoid going nose on against any of the BB's regardless, and sure as spork do not show too much side either. I have no idea why Wargaming didn't provide her with the tech-tree style energy preservation. USN could choose between type of plane, type of ordnance, etc. Great work . as usual. Thank you @LittleWhiteMouse. The last piece of her squishy puzzle is her effective health pool. Florida's hit point pool is small for a tier VII battleship. Heck, it would be on the low end for a tier VI battleship. This isn't enough to damn her in of itself -- she's not so low that she's on Viribus Unitis levels of parody. But a smaller hit point pool means that she heals less penetrating damage with her Repair Party. While this has no impact on fire and flooding damage (as their damage amount scales with the starting hit points of the ship), 10,000 damage worth of penetrations hurts Florida more than other tier VII battleships. But there's more. Florida comes with one fewer charges of her Repair Party, so this deficit is felt even more.. And I mean that in the same way I tell my significant other that "it's fine" when things are clearly not. It's all of the little things which add up to a bad experience for me. If you asked me to point at the one thing that bugs me the most about them, I'd probably tell you it's the 4/s gun traverse, which seems stupid to complain about given all of the other issues. However, I think that this quibble illustrates my beef with Florida's gunnery as a whole. Her slow turret traverse is just that "one more thing" that feels off about this ship. No matter her advantages, there's always a big ol' butt attached. +1 upboat for the review. I was looking forward to this review because I was unsure about if I was going to spend some dosh on Florida as a USN fan He approached me about my frustrations with Club Wargaming and he took an active leadership role among the various content creators to approach Wargaming about our complaints. It was by his initiative that the WGNA CC-program took shape under NikoPower (of CorgiFleet fame). From those conversations, @iChase, @NoZoupForYou, @Notser, @TitiuBlack, Critter8 and I became the first NA-CCs in early January of 2016. While I could gush endlessly about everything NikoPower did for us, it was Critter8 who stands out as the leader we needed. He brought the six of us would-be professionals (with integrity) together. Florida man, Florida man Guess the tune. I really don't like her alternative palette. It's a dull, elephantine grey in unflattering patterns. She would have felt immediately tankier but still vulnerable to higher tiered ships. follow. There's nothing too surprising about California's options. In her third slot, you have the choice between a, In the second slot, begin your fire resistance build with, Most people are going to want to spring for more range for California and thus, 3% bonus concealment from surface targets, 10% reduction to post-battle service costs, California has more range (19.9km vs 16km), California's AP shells do more damage (10,500 vs 10,300), California has a faster reload (34.2s vs 35s). Skill Floor: Simple / CASUAL / Challenging/ DifficultSkill Ceiling: Low / MODERATE / High / Extreme. Thx mouse. And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. If I were to purchase one, Florida would get my money for sure., Whilst I appreciate the very solid review you have provided for yet another ship, I am far more appreciative of your last few paragraphs on @Critter8and the rest of you folks. That hurts given her inability to overmatch 25mm armour that's so commonplace within her matchmaking spread. Short of adding a turtleback, it's as well protected as you could hope it to be. For them and cruisers, reduced spotting time after firing is long over due. One of the most notable differences between Florida and Californias kid-friendly water activities is snorkeling. Florida and California responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in vastly different ways, but comparing outcomes isn't so simple. While tier VI carriers have to respect your AA firepower they can still strike you. California has much reduced firing arcs (102 broadside vs 113), California has more health (58,300hp vs 57,200hp), Arizona has better anti-torpedo protection. WebThere are thousands of Pow Wows held across North American. That 35mm anti-torpedo bulge covers a huge section of California's side. I was looking forward to this review because I was unsure about if I was going to spend some dosh on Florida as a USN fan. After an impressive week that saw the Tigers go 3-1-1, Auburn begins a new week by welcoming in Florida A&M to Plainsman Park for a However, California's an important release and, more pressingly, I don't feel she's a good ship. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak and was only the third in February following the upset of the Tennessee Volunteers to open the month along with a Tweak are play and all that way, far more interesting. It should be hella tasty and refreshing. Florida's citadel layout tells you all you really need to know about this ship's durability. The TL:DR is that her citadel abuts against the exterior of her hull and it sits above the waterline. With only 285mm worth of belt protection, this exposed "T-section" of her citadel is stupid-easy to bullseye for waterline-aimed shots from enemy battleships. For 380mm+ AP shells aimed at her bows, her transverse bulkhead is almost as vulnerable. ATHENS Georgia basketball battled back but could not overcome its 12-point second half deficit to Florida. WebUSN Battleship Captain Skills (Redux):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bGGPXo_hUSituational Awareness And You - Some Tips to Improve Situational As good as California's lateral protection is, her big weak spot is her bow. As a Californian and a player whose been as eager to sink my teeth into some California play as I would be a good fish taco, this review of what the ship is about is akin to finding a brown layer of over ripened avocado in that taco and being fearful it might actually be a cream of cow pie spread. with florida you a lot of retired folk from around the country. Unfortunately she can't really take advantage as well as another battleship might because of her slowness. Focus instead on her sloppy rudder shift time. She doesn't feel like she handles well because of it. Add on her modest turret traverse rate and she feels like a chunk-lord. They provide the same bonuses and are merely a cosmetic swap. LittleWhiteMouse, October 12, 2020 in General Game Discussion. They have averaged 3.5 goals per game (35 total) over that stretch. WebA Captain's hands-on guide to effectively helming the U.S. California's increased rate of fire, higher shell damage and sigma are all nice but the difference is so minor as to be largely unnoticeable. So imagine my disappointment when, against all advice, Wargaming stuck to their guns and pulled a copy-paste job of USS Arizona's performance and tacked it onto California. A lot of what's listed above owe to the differences of the gun calibers. Let's pretend Arizona doesn't exist. You'll probably have to shell out some extra cash for the Freedom camo, whether that will be through a bundle or with doubloons after the fact. You're not reinventing the wheel with Florida. Take the usual battleship survivability build. It's boring but it works. For variety's sake, you can swap out Priority Target and Expert Marksman for your tier 1 and tier 2 skills of choice. Some good alternatives are Expert Loader, Jack of All Trades and High Alert. Expert Loader in particular is a very good choice. Wow California is finally upon us? Great work as always, Mouse! But the winter surge slammed California, and that gap narrowed to 11%. The Tigers got monster performances from a pair of standouts in Angel Reese and Jasmine Carson, who each scored 25 points in a win that saw them walk away holding It's akin to (but not a copy of) the UFO-style acceleration found on British cruisers and destroyers. Florida basketball got back on the winning track on Tuesday night with a 77-67 win over the Georgia Bulldogs on the road in the penultimate regular-season game for the Gators. As for the ship herself, WG pitched her at someone who wants a moderately fast (not quite 30kt, but not 20 either) US BB with lots of gun barrels at Tier 7. California's shells have higher muzzle velocity. They have averaged 3.5 goals per game (35 total) over that stretch. The totals have gone OVER in 3 of Queens' last 5 games. Furthermore, that big 26mm area is just begging to receive hits from HE spam. California is a longer ranged Arizona with slightly improved damage output between better AP shells and a faster reload. California's AP penetration is okay. My Dallas and Helena should have the same pen as my Cleveland and Seattle, with or without IFHE in the game. This ship is slow. If you had to choose one, Arizona is the better purchase, hands down. I bought the super Pershing in Tanks.. opps. She just isn't a must-have in my fleet, which for me makes her a don't-buy. In a way I'm glad there's not a ship named after my home state they can give this sort of treatment to. Alright, that's enough fussing over what is little more than a curiosity. Let's get onto the meat of the matter. The horrible fire arcs on California's guns will necessitate more manoeuvring to swing out her guns and then duck back which will only ensure she's stuck on the lower end of this speed. I'm not going to waste too much time on this review (she says, and then spends four whole days on it). Florida can land a lot of hits with her HE shells. To be fair, Phloopy Dooply is too busy shilling for another game, a very corrupt game that was able to force me to quit because of increasingly terrible customer service and terrible changes. I love playing Arizona but i won't pay to have it at tier 7. Despite all that, what I really like about her is that her guns (while not powerful as you'd expect, which is mentioned) are fairly accurate at all but extreme range. I also like her secondaries, as they have decent enough accuracy and reach out to 6.6 with aft+flag. The single 5" guns tend to land their hits a lot vs the dual 5" guns (though that is not be saying much considering. Those are my sentiments to the silent warriors. They are truly the ones that really profoundly had (has) an effect to the mass public, unlike the affect the Whiskey Golf tries to show in their own efforts. Uses the improved battlecruiser dispersion instead of that of American battleships. In their past 10 matchups, the Panthers are 6-4-0 to earn 80.0% of the possible points. TALLAHASSEE Flexing his power over one of Floridas largest employers, Gov. I see that champagne wont be a good time for you to review ,but thats okay. You need to play a total of 20 battles to post in this section. Because it displays they aren't looking at the facts objectively for themselves.. She's missing an ice-breaker bow like the aforementioned German ships. Florida had a cumulative rate as much as 84% higher than Californias last fall. The Napoli is based on a preliminary design from Ansaldo for the Soviet Project 22 Heavy cruiser. She doesn't have improved heals like the British battleships. Despite constant suggestions to give her improved accuracy and/or range on her secondaries, Wargaming wouldn't budge on keeping them standardized. Good concealment with a surface detection as low as 11.8km. With Arizona existing, Wargaming should have either retired the Pearl Harbor monument or dredged up something from their box o' gimmicks for California to compensate. Would you prefer if they decided based on other CCs instead? Summary so far: California's agility is absolutely appalling and worse than it had to be. And she gains naught for these handicaps. Same old, same old. ET (ESPN). The Soviets infamously have it too. However, she has very poor gun fire angles, horrible agility and no appreciable gains in defense all while being up-tiered to tier VII. Flak Bursts: 5 explosions for 1,400 damage per blast at 3.5km to 5.8km.Long Ranged (up to 5.8km): 137 dps at 75% accuracyMedium Ranged (up to 3.5km): 364 dps at 75% accuracyShort Ranged (up to 2.0km): 490dps at 70% accuracy. Decent gunnery dispersion with 1.9 sigma. Her rudder shift time of 15.4s is the most remarkable thing about her and not in a good way. It's slow. At best, you might be able to setup an ambush and catch someone unawares but that's not likely to happen -- again because of that lack of speed. Based on our research, heres the ranking of states where average annual car insurance rates are the most expensive: Florida: $2,560. You get tier VIII American battleship AA firepower at tier VII. Simply put, it's the only thing which makes this ship viable as a tier VII vessel and even then it barely passes muster. The moneyline odds say Florida has a 62.3% chance of winning this game. California, like most of her standard battleship relatives, features a 26mm bow, stern, and most of her deck. While at lower tiers this may be enough to deflect enemy fire, the normalization of the 406mm or higher guns at tier VIII and IX means that players will have to be careful in engagements against most higher tier battleships. It's just a matter of making the ship fun and/or interesting to play. As much as I need a break right now, USS California is a big enough name to elicit sales simply merely by reputation. Maybe Repair Party needs to be a little less unique on cruisers, other than UK zombie type or other such quirks. You are usually not shot at by much due to how target selection of bots works, so Florida's armor won't be a big issue even with the short combat range in OPs. With a base 900m advantage over Arizona, this is supposed to facilitate not only engaging the enemy but escaping from difficult situations. What to do? Live stream California vs. Florida State on fuboTV: Start with a 7-day free trial! As of December 2020, Floridas (preliminary) unemployment rate was at 6.1% while Californias was 9%. If Florida was a battleship from any other nation, there would be very little worth noting here. How Much Is the Property Tax in Florida? You can forget keeping up with the pace of battle. Her improved dispersion via sigma will only be apparent over the course of multiple games rather than individual matches. California gets no tools to seriously mitigate this. In their past 10 They could have made California powerful. Mileage probably determined on if you want a premium USN BB for Narai or not. If I can help others avoid that, I will. For me, Ship Comrade allowed me to greatly increase the quality of my reviews.
