You need speed to reach thatposition in time, but if you do, you can sink MO in two salvos, allowing you to not rely on torps by other ships to take it down. Her turning radius of 760m is decent. It's not amazing, but it's alright. Short of adding a turtleback, it's as well protected as you could hope it to be. This ship is slow. Hard pass, ladies and gentlemen. This is why I took issue with West Virginia appearing in her Pearl Harbor mien and not that of Surigao Strait. +4% increased dispersion of enemy shells. All of Arizona's decks are 26mm). NikoPower (of CorgiFleet fame). From those conversations, For me, Ship Comrade allowed me to greatly increase the quality of my reviews. This long format, like you're seeing here with Florida, was facilitated entirely by having my content written for Ship Comrade. Critter8 encouraged CCs like myself and, I am here and there every where and no where. That 35mm anti-torpedo bulge covers a huge section of California's side. If for any particular reason I needa fast American battleship, I have Georgia.. Florida struggles even more. Don't brawl. You'll die. Arizona has better upper-hull armour. It goes on and on like this. Yes, yes, yes, this is all in the name of BALANS, tovarish, and Florida's gunnery is balanced. I just don't like it. 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. Her 27 knot top speed has the illusion of meaning something only because she's an American battleship. All other American battleships from tier VII and below cap out around 21 knots as their top speed. With the nerfing to American Standard-type battleship agility with patch 0.9.6 Florida's speed advantage is even more pronounced. Were she a battleship from any other nation, her 27 knot top speed would be unremarkable. So yes, Florida is faster than Colorado or California. Big deal. So is everything else at this tier. Skill Floor: Simple / CASUAL / Challenging/ DifficultSkill Ceiling: Low / MODERATE / High / Extreme. This is the first meeting of the season between the two programs both coming off of big, emotional wins. Solid rearward firing angles, well suited to kiting. This picture is the best thing I could think ofto illustrate CA's introduction to WoWs. 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. Summary so far: Worse protection than Arizona, tier for tier, but that's largely owing to a deficit of hit points as a tier VII battleship. So California has good concealment! 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. The following is a review of California, the tier VII American battleship. This ship has been provided to me by Wargaming for evaluation purposes - However, she has very poor gun fire angles, horrible agility and no appreciable gains in defense all while being up-tiered to tier VII. I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. So there you go! Florida has a better secondary battery than California, equivalent to most of the other American battleships (but obviously excluding Massachusetts & company cuz theirs are souped up). And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. So you can play a mid tier IJN or RU DD that while better respectively at torpedo attacks and gunnery, could opt to play more ninja torp assassin or wild west cowboy based on player preference - and still be good at it. Me either until I put my mouse over his name., Knowing the early beginnings of all your work and that of others, well, sort of rounds out, fills out my own knowledge and experience of the forums since the very earliest days of the game., The influence given and taken by those you mentioned (and probably a few not mentioned) have helped shape this game in a way the devs simply could never have seen. No. And foodfor thought as I review my Steam summertime queue to see where best to spend my $. Very slow top speed of 20.5 knots and poor handling as a result despite her smaller turning circle radius. Over on the defensive end, the Panthers As good as California's lateral protection is, her big weak spot is her bow. California gets no tools to seriously mitigate this. WebFlorida has an improved dispersion formula, but poor sigma. Queens are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the spread. Remember when they said rebuiled West Virginia would be to powerful at tier7. This means that a staggering 1,700,383 people are Something not really mentioned is her torpedo protection, though probably not needed due to her low HP. That 26% really doesn't amount to much as even a single torpedo from any of the ships you face there will hurt, especially if it hits an unprotected spot. You will need to avoid being torpedoed with her much more than any other BB. A salvo from the Campbeltown will cripple you, even if it all goes into the torpedo belt. Eat a salvo from the Farragut, and you are going to be in very bad shape. A salvo from Gallant will pretty much end your run. If either Farragut or Gallant hit you with a full (both launchers) salvo, your run is over, even at 100%. VERDICT: Not as nimble as you might expect. Good enough, I suppose, but definitely not one of her strengths. Oh well, missed opportunities. Florida (on the left) using a standard dispersion test. This is 180 AP shells fired at a stationary Fuso bot. Shots are coming in from the left to right (Fuso is bow-tanking). California is on the right with the same parameters. California uses American battleship dispersion with 1.9 sigma versus Florida's battlecruiser dispersion with 1.7 sigma. Florida feels appreciably more accurate than most other American battleships, though her lower sigma value will make her feel only slightly better than ships like California or Arizona. The issue is their inflexibility. They could make West Virginia 1944 / 1945 fit at tier VIII for crying out loud. Summary so far: You're buying a longer-ranged Arizona. Were it me at the helm of California's project, if improving her offense was off the table I would have done something here. It isn't anywhere near as vulnerable. I fear that these buffs will blindside people to what is nothing more than an already existing tier VI premium with a tier VII price tag. Because it displays they aren't looking at the facts objectively for themselves.. Other than Shimakaze (which needs it only really on it's stock torps) the old IJN torp line needs the range it's torps are spotted back down to the same levels as every other nation not using DWT's, or at least cut in half or reduced to .1 over. Bet now! Most, if not all,also need their alpha nerfed slightly so they aren't deleting cruisers quite the same way they are now (enough that basically instead of say 2 citadels and 4 overpens to destroy a cruiser you'd need 2-3 of those overpens to be solid hits). It's comparable to Arizona's and they each have their strengths. In its win over Florida State on Monday night, UNC basketball set an all-time program record one that not many people probably saw coming. (Arizona has a strip of 37mm armour above her belt while California's upper hull is only 26mm). I've sorted these by the formula of [ AA dps x { range - 1km} ]. It's not a perfect system but it does weight heavier, longer-ranged firepower over masses of short-ranged defence. A lot of what's listed above owe to the differences of the gun calibers. I love my standards -- I love them to death. Instead, she has Gun Fire Control Modification 1 which increases her main battery gun range. Personally, I find the Florida to be a better ship than the California. I was going to take a break after Siegfried and Agir's review was published. I love playing Arizona but i won't pay to have it at tier 7. 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. You probably want, Arizona & California's Main Battery Differences. California has higher sigma (1.9 vs 1.8). If she was still a tier 6 price I'd still take a bite without hesitation but this is just darn disappointing. LittleWhiteMouse, October 12, 2020 in General Game Discussion. Her stern is made up of composite layers of armour beneath the 26mm outer shell in a similar vein to Giulio Cesare's bow. The net effect is that though California has a 20.5 knot top speed, she's usually flirting with much less -- as little as 15.3 knots at 4/4 engine settings. The 0.1 sigma difference is imperceptible in game play -- you couldn't tell the difference if you tried. Thank you a lot! They're perfectly adequate -- I'm not here to tell you that they're broken, bugged, under-performing or what have you. They're well balanced and put out the hurt reasonably well. In fact, they've got a lot of good things going for them including good(ish) fire arcs, good range, decent AP penetration values and that sweet, sweet battlecruiser dispersion. So what's my beef? Tier VII battleship. Same old, same old. The totals have gone OVER in 7 of Queens' 11 last games at home. Florida has access to two different camouflage patterns. By default, she comes with Type 10 Camouflage. However. The number of murders surged by nearly 30%, from 16,669 in 2019 to 21,570 in 2020, the largest year-over-year increase on record. With that in mind, this review is going to myopically focus on the differences between Arizona and California and why one ship is worth the money and the other is a slap in the face. If given the opportunity to fire nothing but AP, Florida does really well. Frankly, this is only going to happen if your opponents are idiots. You have to remain flexible with her ammunition choices. Keep the Expert Loader skill in mind. It's very handy for this ship if you're going to build a dedicated Florida captain. Despite constant suggestions to give her improved accuracy and/or range on her secondaries, Wargaming wouldn't budge on keeping them standardized. As easy as border-humping battleships can be, Florida asks a bit more of players in order to get her to perform. Neither her AP or HE shells are idiot proof, requiring players to be dynamic with their ammunition choices. That's bad enough, but even when you have the right ammo loaded for the right target, her anemic shells leave a lot to be desired, especially with so long of a reload. Even her good improved accuracy can be a bit of a turn off -- at least with bad dispersion even a poorly aimed shot might have something strike the target. Finally, this ship just feels cumbersome with sloppy handling, a slow reload and sluggish turret traverse. However you're paying for the improvements with very crappy gun fire angles. The North Carolina Tar Heels (18-11, 10-8 ACC) and Florida State Seminoles (9-20, 7-11) tangle Monday in Tallahassee. This would have made her functionally as fast as Nagato under manoeuvres. In their hot shooting performance, the Tar Heels saw four players make three or more made 3s in a game the first time in program history. Gnei/Sharn is possibly more fun (depends on each person), but their guns are a lot less punchy compared to Lyon/Ashitaka, so you need to effectively use your torps. And depending on nation, out right changes to how the ship play. ", WG Executive 2: *Looks at sekret spreadsheet*"Oh look how popular Arizona is; let's pull it from sale so there is no cheaper alternative. Good concealment with a surface detection as low as 11.8km. I do so hope they finally understand how important an active, vocal gaming community is to a game such as WoWS., Thanks for sharing a bit of history with us., Awesome retrospective. Florida is an abomination. California is a hard pass. Ostensibly, California's range is supposed to help her here. Catch the excitement and bet with Tipico! California's shells have higher muzzle velocity. You can also forget about successfully kiting or disengaging when things turn sour. Florida's fire angles are decent. They're not good -- good is a 300 fire arc or more, but she's not as appalling as some of the ships I've dealt with recently. I just wish her turret traverse was better. Florida's secondaries are too short ranged to be worth specializing into. They also lack the accuracy buff that makes Massachusetts and Georgia such units. These twin factors are enough to discourage anyone from spending skills or upgrade slots on them, to say nothing of Florida's durability issues (which I will [edited] about at length below).. 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 She would have been a meme the way USS Texas used to be down at tier V. Now such AA firepower is merely an inconvenience to CVs. I bought the super Pershing in Tanks.. opps. This is how ALL of your people should think! California epitomizes the state that chose harsh conformity instead. Arizona will set you back the equivalent of 6,900 doubloons. Are you really inclined to pay to play Arizona with worse matchmaking for the simple sake of being slightly less victimized by aircraft? But playing a standard-type battleship at tier VII or above needs to come with some pretty juicy perks or I'm not biting. ET (ESPN). Florida man, Florida man Guess the tune. The following is a review of USS Florida, the tier VII American premium battleship. I did not pay fo All they had to do was drop the reload down to sub 30 seconds and I think more people would be interested in her. You have a lot to learn from Ms. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. And she gains naught for these handicaps. California's reach partially mitigates this, but only partially. There's a pretty hard cap on how far skill will take you with this ship. Build for fire-resistance first, then double back for your other skills. In theory, California has some pretty good AP damage output. They decelerate like normal battleships. Had she been strong, I think I could have just sat aside and let people discover that for themselves. Take these values with a pinch of salt. This is not accounting for such factors as accuracy, penetration, overmatch, normalization, etc. In terms of raw DPM, yes, Florida lags behind. She's also hurting when it comes to overmatching targets, especially when she's middle or bottom tier. However, her penetration is decent and her accuracy is good, offsetting these factors somewhat but only against select targets. More on this later. However, for a consumer looking for the best bang for their buck, why buy California when Arizona is available? They'd also have to stop with things like secondary's being a national flavour thing. Florida Scoring. WebUSN Battleship Captain Skills (Redux):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bGGPXo_hUSituational Awareness And You - Some Tips to Improve Situational This is in contrast to Arizona which has like no practical AA to speak of. While California has the slight edge in health, it pays to keep in mind that Arizona has a large hit point pool for a tier VI battleship while California is on the low side of average for tier VII. Usually it comes down to the captain to decide if a ship is worth it or not. For example, I loved the Hipper class and Prinz Eugen while most view I bought the super Pershing in Tanks.. opps. I should preface this by saying that I love the American standard-type battleships. This season, Florida A&M has been the underdog 19 times and won four, or 21.1%, of those games. This means, gunnery wise, you're paying more money for a worse experience. See Full Florida man, Florida man Guess the tune. But generally, they should be returned to their previous roles that CL were better DD hunters, while CA stood a better chance vs BB's as opposed to 152 m death rain that melts everything. As much as I need a break right now, USS California is a big enough name to elicit sales simply merely by reputation. The UNC basketball program heads to Florida State for its final road game of the season on Monday night. Granted I have California too (mostly due to 1. 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. Phenomenal AA power is watered down more heavily than American Lite Beer. Florida played solid defense throughout the night, holding Georgia to 33.3 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from 3-point range (4-of-22) while recording 8 steals and 6 blocked shots. Lemme stress: They're fine. As far as gimmicks go, it's downright laughable in the current meta. I swear, she posts these right when I'm off to work now to give other people a chance to reply first :P. Take this review lightly. Hit Points: 58,300Min Bow & Deck Armour: 26mm extremities, upper hull and deck with some 31mm rear deck sections behind the superstructure.Maximum Citadel Protection: 35mm anti-torpedo bulge, 343mm belt and 44mm citadel wall.Torpedo Damage Reduction: 36%. She doesn't get access to Aiming Systems Modification 1 to reduce her main battery gun dispersion. The moneyline odds say Florida has a 62.3% chance of winning this game. Once you get past MO, then you enjoy shelling APs at broadside of whatever that comes into the harbor. Her improved dispersion via sigma will only be apparent over the course of multiple games rather than individual matches. 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. Thank you for everything. And thank you all for reading. California has a boring ol' 14% healed over 28s, not the 16.8% of the KGVs and Hood, the 40% Nelson or even Colorado's 18.48%. It's not high-velocity Soviet-good like Poltava's, though, nor does it have Duke of York's improved auto-ricochet angles (which shares the same penetration as KGV). This is a top-down view of California with her 343mm belt highlighted in red. Unlike Arizona which finds herself occasionally enjoying the 36km x 36km claustrophobic maps of lower tiers, California more often than not sees the 42m x 42km and 48km x 48km maps of higher tiers. It's just a matter of making the ship fun and/or interesting to play. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. But that requires changes well beyond the skill tree, because if we went back 4+ years - sure Germany would still be king of secondary builds with it's 15 cm guns, but French and even ships like Mass would terrorize DD's and cruisers pushing in to caps with secondaries only worried about not getting torped for sailing in a straight line than 152 mm raining death from behind an island - unless it was aiming at the superstructure. 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. I was curious about this ship as i really love playing Arizona. I love playing Arizona but i won't pay to have it at tier 7. This doesn't look like So while California is an obvious gunnery upgrade over New Mexico, California is only a soft upgrade on Arizona. 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 for one wouldn't have spent a nickel on your game without her. Maybe Repair Party needs to be a little less unique on cruisers, other than UK zombie type or other such quirks. Pow Wows In Your State Pow Wows in California Redbird's 21st Children of Many Colors Intertribal Pow Wow 2023 Jun 2 - Jun 4, 2023 - Oxnard CA Thank you for everything. And thank you all for reading. I'm going to take some time sorting and organizing some of my older reviews over the next week or so. 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.. Her secondary armament is divided into two gun types. The first is the twin 127mm/38 we're used to seeing on every American battleship. But these are supplemented by four single 127mm/38 turrets akin to what you might find on an American destroyer like Benson or Sims. This effectively gives her an eight-gun secondary broadside -- two fewer than you'll see on higher tiered American battleships like North Carolina, the SoDaks, the Iowa-sisters, etc, but it's right on par with California's battery. However, Florida manages to have the equivalent broadside to a ten-gun secondary battery like the higher tiered ships because most American twin 127mm/38 guns have an artificially lowered rate of fire and the singles have a boosted one. Check out this nonsense! While California does have some minor improvements over Arizona, they are (in my opinion) inconsequential. Unfortunately the state of the CV rework makes AA unrewarding and frankly useless at times no matter how much of it you have. Once engaged at medium-range, there's really not much this ship can do about it short of trying to fight her way out. Colorado at least manages 19.2 knots under heavy manoeuvres. That's MUCH better than 1.5 sigma on New Mexico!" Thank you for having the integrity to call WG out on their shenanigans. Enjoy your break, you earn it every time you do one of these. Tip from Donald L. Tucker Center is at 7 p.m. Quick Summary: A tier VII, prototype version of the North Carolina-class battleship with twelve 356mm guns instead of nine 406mm guns. She's highly accurate but her guns don't hit very hard, even for 356mm rounds. On top of this, she's super squishy. Double Down, Ohio! How Much Is the Property Tax in Florida? VERDICT: She's squishy -- squishier than the usual tier VII battleship and they struggle a lot with durability. For me, Lyon is the best BB for Narai, Ashitaka being the second, due to their speed and DPM. Deposit $200, Get $250. March 1, 2023 10:00 am CT. Auburn baseball plays Florida A&M on Wednesday evening, and if youre wondering how you can watch the action live, youve come to the right place. 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. In particular, the Florida Keys is an excellent place to snorkel. Whenever I use a BB for Narai, I prefer to go east of convoy so that I can catch MO broadside when it turns. Take this review lightly. I think they are some of the most interesting warships of the Second World War. Queens are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the spread. 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. She has said as much herself in the past. 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. TALLAHASSEE Flexing his power over one of Floridas largest employers, Gov. California can give you some reasonable games. LOCATION: Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee, Florida. follow. These are 180 shells fired at 15km locked onto the stationary Fuso bot. She's just not fun and you can get a similar (and better!) The reload time is my biggest issue.. California's weapons are only okay at tier VII. All you really need to know are the battleship basics: use the correct ammo, beware of flashing your sides, try not to get left behind. It's just the 26mm outer portion until you smack the transverse bulkheads protecting her citadel. She can contribute. Her protection scheme is otherwise fine though her snoot is a huge weak spot. All things told, it's not bad for helping keep shells out (especially when angling). Like American Lite Beer, the CV rework has a lot to answer for. Hmm Thanks Mouse really good food for thought. California vs. Florida: A tale of two Americas From a distance, Florida and California look similar: beaches and natural disasters, theme parks full of tourists, and What's more, California does not offer anything novel in the way of game play short of having better AA firepower. In their past 10 matchups, the Panthers are 6-4-0 to earn 80.0% of the possible points. The issue, though, is that they're not improved enough over the tier VI premium's to be worthwhile. 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. Ostensibly, this should allow her to disengage more easily by holding fire but let's not kid ourselves into imagining that she can escape pursuit. California's citadel (in yellow) is fully submerged well below the waterline. Florida, on the other hand, would be much more enjoyable if Florida wins this battle hands down. 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. But seeing how she was being released reminded me of why I write these reviews in the first place: To protect other players from making bad purchases. California plays like Arizona but she plays less comfortably owing to her worse fire arcs and even more sluggish handling. If you had to choose one, Arizona is the better purchase, hands down. Uses the improved battlecruiser dispersion instead of that of American battleships. Florida is pretty much a normal tier VII battleship with an exposed, vulnerable citadel and weak Repair Party. Summary so far: California's concealment is meant to be her saving grace. According to FBI data, there were a total of 1.3 million violent offenses reported in 2020, or 388 for every 100,000 people -- a 5% increase from 2019. Unlike my normal dispersion tests, as Arizona and California can't equip the dispersion reducing ASM1 upgrade, their fields look comparatively larger than ships of the same tier.
