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. Thank you @LittleWhiteMouse. 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. Make no mistakes, Florida is a tricky girl, but if you figure her out she will do very well in Narai. Otherwise, any of the other T7 BB's will be easier to run with. Overall, the accuracy is very good, but not "crazy". Now that said, with this high-profile release covered and my feels (hopefully) clearly broadcast, I'm taking some much needed time off. 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 VERDICT: Pretty darned good for raw concealment values, though she struggles to spot stuff on her own. It's too bad she doesn't have the agility to make better use of this trait. Ez fix". VERDICT: Not as nimble as you might expect. Good enough, I suppose, but definitely not one of her strengths. Summary so far: Well, so far so good, I suppose. TV: ESPN ( Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+) RADIO: Tar Heel Sports Network. They provide the same bonuses and are merely a cosmetic swap. i feel like its an insult to the playerbase that WG expects people to actually spend about 50 bucks on this garbage, truly a waste of devs time and money but isnt that par for the course with WG nowadays? Her top speed of 27 knots is completely acceptable for a tier VII battleship. I think in this regard the ship is somewhat worth it. They are phoenixes that rose from the ashes of Pearl Harbor. 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. If she was still a tier 6 price I'd still take a bite without hesitation but this is just darn disappointing. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. 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. The bot was without camouflage. So, you can keep your Iowas, the romance (to me) lies in names like West Virginia, Tennessee and California. Having a working knowledge of which ships you can still punish when they angle helps immeasurably, but Florida is very often forced to rely on either aiming for over-penetrations through superstructures or resorting to her HE rounds. Well, I guess that settles that. Arizona has better upper-hull armour. Florida's "Golden Eagle" camouflage has the same pin-up girl on her funnel as the camouflage made available for the new American tech tree battleships. I'm surprised by how much I enjoy this camo, though that may simply be because I'm not big on the other two. QueensFGCU. They're not thick enough to keep battleship caliber shells out. She doesn't have a nigh-impervious citadel like Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Base/Minimum Surface Detection: 13.86km / 12.1kmBase/Minimum Air Detection Range: 10.08km/9.07kmDetection Range When Firing in Smoke: 12.01kmMaximum Firing Range: Between 18.62km and 25.92km, Flordia's concealment values are pretty darned good. She doesn't quite get into that magical sub-12km surface detection range which is quite impressive for a battleship, but at least she gets close. Given her preferred engagement distance, it's pretty easy for this ship to drop off from detection range in typical encounters -- especially given her long reload. If she had a bit more grunt in her engines, controlling the engagement through use of her stealth would be a lot more feasible, but her 27 knot top speed just isn't enough to kite away from all of the battleships she faces, to say nothing of cruisers and destroyers.. Most of her teeth come from her 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikons, barring a CV being gracious enough to face-plant into a flak-cloud. These do not survive long under HE fire and even cursory smattering of HE rounds will quickly reduce the effectiveness of her AA and open her up to the potential of air-attack. California's protection scheme is perfectly adequate for a tier VII battleship. Arizona is "long ranged" for a tier VI battleship once you install Gun Fire Control System Modification 1, so you largely duplicate California's schtick there too. With a base 900m advantage over Arizona, this is supposed to facilitate not only engaging the enemy but escaping from difficult situations. They need radar to have some limitation - be it not going through rocks or only working for the ship using it (and only mini map spots for the team). 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. Good range for a tier VII battleship, able to reach out to 21.6km with her APRM1 modification. Tier for tier, Arizona is the better protected ship with her armour and hit points meaning more at tier VI than California's at tier VII. Ron DeSantis exacts punishment, takes over Disney district on eve of book launch. This might have worked had Arizona not been on offer -- California would have been more rightly compared to New Mexico and her strengths would seem obvious. Look at all of this negative space! This is what happens when I scale the HE values to the same scale as the AP values. The order of ships shuffles a bit with German HE shells being terrible and British and Japanese HE shells doing more damage than you might otherwise expect for their calibre. Florida's HE performance remains unfortunate. However, given the troubles with her AP shells, you'll still be reaching for them often. Well, this accidentally turned into a much longer review than I had intended. I was originally just going to line up Florida alongside California, compare the two and then pull a surprise-reveal that they both suck equally. Instead, I learned last week that Ship Comrade, the site run by @Critter8 that has hosted my reviews since the first quarter of 2016 was going to close down. Instead of working on how to cleverly cast shade on anyone that enjoyed either one of these tier VII American premium battleships, I spent the better part of two days going through years worth of archived jpegs and text, reflecting on the years I've spent writing for World of Warships and all of the help, support and encouragement Critter8 provided me. Still, she's not far removed from Arizona -- like, the differences are barely perceptible. 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 WebCalifornia is more of a dry heat while Florida is more humid It's generally sunny more so in california than in florida. California's weapons are only okay at tier VII. Observe: California has absolutely horrid main battery traverse rates, coming about at a glacial 60s for 180. Double Down, Ohio! Also, thanks for saving me from buying this ship thinking it would be good. Lemme stress: They're fine. Make it that maybe it's worth making a sneakierBB build to sort of flank an enemy team when in a faster one then surprise them., Unless you remove skill entirely - there will never be no 'optimal build' for a ship, even a type may still have one that is considered overall 'better' than the others - but they can at least make it choosing to run secondary build on German and French BB's is a choice in style more than a handicap. I just came to read another review by LWM, and donot have Florida, but I have been farming in Narai since other farming OPs were taken down. experience with Arizona down at tier VI. For them and cruisers, reduced spotting time after firing is long over due. California is a beautiful port queen that doesn't live up to her fantastic history. Her 31mm rear deck will help shatter small-caliber HE shells too, as will her 50mm armoured secondaries. California will cost you around 10,000 for a worse experience, tier for tier. Flak Bursts: 5 explosions for 1400 damage per blast at 3.5km to 5.8km.Long Ranged (up to 5.8km): 157.5dps at 75% accuracyMedium Ranged (up to 4.0km): 269.5dps at 75% accuracyShort Ranged (up to 2.0km): 318.5dps at 70% accuracy. On the other hand, I was going to take a break after Siegfried and Agir's review was published. Florida had a cumulative rate as much as 84% higher than Californias last fall. The Florida at tier VII is based on the North Carolina-class of battleships as it was initially designed. After World War I, to stop the naval arms race that was raging between the different nations, multiple treaties were signed, including the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 and the Second London Naval Treaty of 1936. She doesn't get access to Aiming Systems Modification 1 to reduce her main battery gun dispersion. I'm not going to waste too much time on this review (she says, and then spends four whole days on it). I have spent a TON! California's protection scheme is decent for a tier VII battleship but it's nothing special either short of her anti-torpedo protection (which is good but not as amazing as the size of her bulges would suggest). If you purchase online, Legoland Florida tickets are $84.99 (plus fees and tax) while Legoland California is $94.99 for kids and $100.99 for adults (plus fee and tax). I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity and help he provided for me. For personal reasons, he had to step back from World of Warships. As the CC program again got overhauled, Wargaming dropped his CC-status despite his continued efforts to host and support other CCs. Sadly, Ship Comrade was never a profitable enterprise. Donations helped keep the lights on for a time, but all things must come to an end. He ran the site out of his own pocket for over five years. I don't fault him in the least for retiring. 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. The only thing to watch out for is if one your DD/CL uses smoke and hide all other ships, MO will target you and you don't want that with Florida's armor. The perks they gave her to compensate, namely good AA, nice range, good concealment and more accurate guns, don't cut the mustard for me. The sales tax in Florida is 6% whereas in California it is 7.25%. If I can help others avoid that, I will. Certainly can defend herself against carriers with her decent AA. 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. Floridas games this season have gone over 6.5 goals 37 of 62 times. Sadly, Florida's HE are lacking. Their modest damage per-shell and slow reload might not be such a bad handicap if their fire chance was better, but her fire chance per shell is horrible. The 22% value she's shackled with is downright painful for such a slow rate of fire. Getting one permanent fire to burn is a feat, never mind doubling up. Her HE performance is so bad that I would happily recommend sticking with AP spam if it weren't for the aforementioned issue with angled and higher-tiered targets. It's stupid-important to be patient with your shots. Look for opportune targets where you can maximize her AP efficiency. You don't want to have to start spamming HE. Similarly, you don't want to force encounters where this is your sole option. Florida doesn't have the armour or hit points to facilitate trades against same-tier (or even tier VI) opponents. Blapping a full broadside of HE into an enterprising lolibote is hilarious, don't get me wrong -- her improved accuracy means that she easily can land four to six shells (or more!) Rather than look for something new or novel, Wargaming played it safe. It should be hella tasty and refreshing. The accuracy plots in these reviews is awesome. She is a powerful tier VI battleship, so you might think my comparison unfair. The only Florida Ive seen in Narai was deleted 3 minutes in somehow. California has higher sigma (1.9 vs 1.8). WebUSN Battleship Captain Skills (Redux):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bGGPXo_hUSituational Awareness And You - Some Tips to Improve Situational Horrible gun handling and appalling gun firing angles. You joke but I warned the devs of this exact thing. And I'm fine with that as long as they give us module choices like in RTS to customize are play. Horrible rudder shift time of 15.4 seconds. She's missing an ice-breaker bow like the aforementioned German ships. Price Comparison Legoland Tickets. WebFlorida has an improved dispersion formula, but poor sigma. Take this review lightly. Mouse, while knowledgeable, is subject to her own personal biases, likes, preferences, just like the rest of us. I HATE w Top Speed: 20.5 knotsTurning Radius: 640mRudder Shift Time: 14.7 seconds4/4 Engine Speed Rate of Turn: 3.7/s. Once again, here are some dispersion tests. 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 California isn't fun to play and that's her greatest crime. Her stern is made up of composite layers of armour beneath the 26mm outer shell in a similar vein to Giulio Cesare's bow. 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. TALLAHASSEE Flexing his power over one of Floridas largest employers, Gov. This ship has been provided to me by Wargaming for evaluation purposes -- I did not have to pay for this thing, which is a good thing because I would have felt offended had I shelled out money for this horribly mistreated piece of history. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. Take this review lightly. She has excellent AA firepower. Calfornia does have a higher muzzle velocity and thus better AP penetration over distance. California faces a lot more opponents that can easily best her extremity and deck armour -- not only with battleship caliber AP but also HE spam from cruisers with enough base penetration to out-muscle her structural protection. Long ranged with a starting reach of 19.9km which can be extended to as much as 27.7km between upgrades and consumables. If she can't be powerful, she needs to be interesting and she fails at that utterly. Looking at the charts, i'm surprised how average Poltava is. Skill Floor: Simple / Casual / CHALLENGING / DifficultSkill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / HIGH / Difficult. Let's start with Florida's secondaries, because they're kind of neat in a pointless, fun bit of trivia kind of way. UNC heads to Tallahassee to face Florida State (9-20, 7-11) on Monday (7 p.m., ESPN) in the final road game of the regular season. I have always been enjoying your reviews, LittleWhiteMouse. in other words, you are more likely to find claifornians in claifornia than floridians in florida Florida struggles even more. Don't brawl. You'll die. Florida's artificial fragility instead comes from three sources. The most influential of these is her citadel placement and geometry. Any battleship with her citadel sitting high over the waterline and abutting against the ship's exterior has a big ol' weakspot that's pretty easy to exploit. That, in of itself, isn't enough to damn a ship. For example, Soviet battleships all share this weak point, but many (if not most) of them are considered super-tanky. Therein lies Florida's second weakness: she lacks any form of extended armour to assist with shattering HE shells and ricocheting incoming AP rounds. While her amidships deck is a respectable 37mm, her butt, snoot and upper hull are all highly vulnerable. 25mm and 26mm armour are easily over-matched by the oh-so commonplace 380mm+ AP shells found at this tier. This armour similarly doesn't hold up against HE spam from cruisers and some destroyers. Thus Florida is much more limited when it comes to tanking incoming rounds. She can bounce 356mm armed battleships throwing AP in her face for days but angle improperly or test your luck against larger caliber guns and she goes down in a hurry. This is the first meeting of the season between the two programs both coming off of big, emotional wins. 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. The following is a review of California, the tier VII American battleship. This ship has been provided to me by Wargaming for evaluation purposes - Jones Angell, play-by In particular, the Florida Keys is an excellent place to snorkel. Looking at the charts, i'm surprised how average Poltava is. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be. A slow American standard-type battleship with horrible gun firing arcs but improved long-range gunnery with her twelve 356mm guns. DD's need their stealth back, or they need survivability. Make IJN CV's actually historical, there are a number of options because while personally I'd restrictattack planes to the bombs they actually carried being HE, the standard torps and/or SAP DB's could be swapped out for Level Bombing AP (800 kg) bombs or Level Bombing carpet bombers (cause IJN TB's could and did do that kind of stuff). The most dangerous shots come from medium to long range where shells have a bit of drop going for them to strike beneath the waterline and angle towards the citadel. If I can help others avoid that, I will. This can be especially problematic if you've boosted her range and there are silly things like a bored Musashi or Champagne itching for targets. Hes played the game since then but you can tell he has not played it much based on HOW he plays some ships. 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.. bentley university greek life, surplus ammo and arms ar15, god saw that you were getting tired poem, 'S artificial fragility instead comes from three sources AP efficiency getting one fire!
