wows california vs florida
Florida Gov. If you swapped out Florida's 25mm bow and stern for 26mm versions, she'd be a perfectly normal tier VII battleship. Florida is 10-6 when scoring more than 69.3 points. All they had to do was drop the reload down to sub 30 seconds and I think more people would be interested in her. CV's - they are basically always going to be stuck with one optimized skill choice. 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. The Wildcats score just 1.4 fewer points per game (67.4) than the Gators give up (68.8). Had she been strong, I think I could have just sat aside and let people discover that for themselves. However, the larger map sizes makes this a lot more problematic. 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. My Dallas and Helena should have the same pen as my Cleveland and Seattle, with or without IFHE in the game. +1 on the review but I am enjoying the Florida. California is a ship without game play identity. 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. There's nothing out of the ordinary here. experience with Arizona down at tier VI. And that's fair to say. 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. 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%. Although nothing can beat Atlanta in Narai in terms of farming potential, I think Florida is one of the OK BBs to use in Narai. 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. California's AP shells have higher penetration. I'm not telling you which ship is which. LOCATION: Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee, Florida. Louisiana: $2,546. But her bow? I won't be purchasing her. Summary so far: California's concealment is meant to be her saving grace. Taylor Jones. Top Speed: 20.5 knotsTurning Radius: 640mRudder Shift Time: 14.7 seconds4/4 Engine Speed Rate of Turn: 3.7/s. This doesn't look like a good ship at all. In World of Warships, Florida represents the design XVI-C if the North Carolina-class would have ever been built this way. She also presents the same battlecruiser characteristics as Champagne and Slava with an improved dispersion but lighter armor than other battleships at her tier. These weapons are not worth upgrading any more than you would find it worthwhile to upgrade North Carolina's or Alabama's secondaries. Hard pass, ladies and gentlemen. She's missing an ice-breaker bow like the aforementioned German ships. COVID-19 Cases and Deaths in California vs Florida in Spring 2021 and Cumulative Through April 2021. It's worth being said: Arizona over-performs at her tier. USS California's inclusion in World of Warships bothers me on so many levels. She doesn't have boosted HE shell damage the way Japanese and British battleships do, so she's kind of lackluster there. 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's speed is a severe handicap, but you knew that coming in. Florida is the state that more or less stayed open during the pandemic and thrived in its defiance. Now that said, with this high-profile release covered and my feels (hopefully) clearly broadcast, I'm taking some much needed time off. How Much Is the Property Tax in Florida? Same old, same old. I'm left to wonder what the point of California's design implementation as is. I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. Despite constant suggestions to give her improved accuracy and/or range on her secondaries, Wargaming wouldn't budge on keeping them standardized. Her improved dispersion via sigma will only be apparent over the course of multiple games rather than individual matches. Maybe Repair Party needs to be a little less unique on cruisers, other than UK zombie type or other such quirks. ET. I don't want to touch California. The totals have gone OVER in 7 of Queens' 11 last games at home. I think they are some of the most interesting warships of the Second World War. Well, I guess that settles that. Uses the improved battlecruiser dispersion instead of that of American battleships. Ships with stars have been changed or added since patch 0.9.6. Take this review lightly. Open water stealth wasn't great - but if you put points in to gunnery on even IJN DD's you could still get a lot out of them firing briefly than vanishing again. Small hit point pool for a tier VII battleship. UK HE rockets and SAP ones, maybe HE vs AP but more unique could be to bypass bombs for a second smaller TB group since they focused on torp carrying planes that could also carry bombs, and skip bombing would be another option. Oh well, missed opportunities. 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'm getting a lot of mileage out of this graphic. This speaks a lot to how badly the skill system needs to be reworked given how optimized skill choices have become. 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. DD's need their stealth back, or they need survivability. California's AP penetration is okay. Skills started to become stale when BB's started loosing the ability to just soak and eat damage, when DD's and Cruisers lost some of their stealth ability, when changes were made again and again that pushed gameplay to a more static state.. Tier VII battleship. As good as California's lateral protection is, her big weak spot is her bow. If you had to choose one, Arizona is the better purchase, hands down. The Soviets infamously have it too. Once you start shooting atbroadside targets? The problem with simply looking at DPM charts is that it assumes everything is not only 100% accurate, but also that all shells perform equally when they strike a target. It patently ignores two crucial elements: As Roma so painfully demonstrated, you can have gorgeous paper stats but if you simultaneously struggle to (a) hit a target and (b) get anything other than over-penetrations, then your experience is going to be hella inconsistent. Florida has her own struggles, but at least she's very consistent when it comes to landing hits. Florida uses battlecruiser dispersion -- the same found on ninja-accurate battleships like Thunderer. Sadly, this isn't paired with a god-tier sigma value. Florida has 1.7 sigma competed to 1.9 of Thunderer or 2.0 of Champagne, so she doesn't feel quite so accurate as some of the higher-tiered snipers. The lower sigma means that the occasional shell will still fly wonky, though the smaller dispersion area means this won't be as wildly askew as other ships. In short: Florida's accuracy is good. You should land more hits per volley than her contemporaries which should help mitigate some of her DPM issues -- not all of them, but some. 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 February 28, 2023 11:24 am ET. 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. Thx mouse. And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. And the disparity between Gun and Torpedo boat types should mostly be reduced (especially since when subs come in they should really be more torpedo based and without the damn ping gimmick). 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. It could be worse, I suppose. Florida is pretty much a normal tier VII battleship with an exposed, vulnerable citadel and weak Repair Party. Lemme stress: They're fine. This is a booby prize in the current meta. Wow California is finally upon us? Great work as always, Mouse! Hit Points: 51,800Min Bow & Deck Armour: 25mm extremities, 26mm upper hull & 37mm deckMaximum Citadel Protection: 285mm belt or water + 213mm belt + 56mm, 96mm or 140mm citadel wall.Torpedo Damage Reduction: 26%. This picture is the best thing I could think ofto illustrate CA's introduction to WoWs. Wargaming burned me once too often in World of Tanks. Vulnerable, high-water citadel with as little as 285mm worth of armour. heh), and overall they tend to start fires quite a bit. For me she simply, "clicks". Results will vary. Thanks for your hard work. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be., A shame about shipcomrade's closing. Her carry potential is limited. While expert players can flex a lot of their in-game knowledge to get more out of Florida's potential, her defensive limitations thwart most attempts to push aggressively. Her guns don't hit hard enough or fast enough and are foiled by even limited angling. Still, she's a nice support ship. If you want to play a more passive, supporting role, Florida works well, especially against CVs. In a way I'm glad there's not a ship named after my home state they can give this sort of treatment to. Without allies to road-block, California will be run down, sneaky or not. You can also forget about successfully kiting or disengaging when things turn sour. 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. Hmm Thanks Mouse really good food for thought. I'll play a shoddy ship back to back for hundreds of games provided she's fun (I've done it too -- I loved Atlanta before Surveillance Radar was a thing). I just came to read another review by LWM, and do not have Florida, but I have been farming in Narai since other farming OPs were taken down. Altho Granted I have California too (mostly due to 1.

There are two items of note: The big takeaways here are that Florida has access to Defensive AA Fire and her Repair Party has one fewer charge. Are they good enough to be tier VII guns? 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. That 35mm anti-torpedo bulge covers a huge section of California's side. Excellent AA firepower, equivalent to a tier VIII American battleship. 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. Queens are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the spread. As nice as the raw penetration values are on Florida, she doesn't have a lot to spare once you aim at battleships in excess of 15km out. Using the usual tricks of aiming for softer sections of the hull can help, especially given Florida's reasonably tight dispersion to ensure good groupings. This helps somewhat, but again, angling is very effective against Florida's guns because she doesn't overmatch a whole lot of armour. She's boasting not only tier VIII AA firepower at tier VII but good tier VIII firepower at tier VII. 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.. 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. 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. I think the best thing to examine is how worth it is the ship in not just randoms and ranked, but coop and ops. California is a beautiful port queen that doesn't live up to her fantastic history. 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. ET (ESPN). And I'm a Native CAn. California gets no tools to seriously mitigate this. I dunno what's going on with California's turrets with her Freedom camouflage. I've sorted these ships by the formula I like to use (DPS x [range-1km]) to give a better, but not entirely accurate, impression of AA effectiveness -- the logic being that longer range AA is better than shorter range AA. What's more, California does not offer anything novel in the way of game play short of having better AA firepower. Please be aware that her performance may change in the future. Summary so far: You're buying a longer-ranged Arizona. You need to play a total of 20 battles to post in this section. Is California worth it? (Arizona has a strip of 37mm armour above her belt while California's upper hull is only 26mm). Mouse, while knowledgeable, is subject to her own personal biases, likes, preferences, just like the rest of us. 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. If she can't be powerful, she needs to be interesting and she fails at that utterly. Time to re-use a graphic because battleship skill optimization has stagnated! And foodfor thought as I review my Steam summertime queue to see where best to spend my $. 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 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. You joke but I warned the devs of this exact thing. California has higher sigma (1.9 vs 1.8). Wow. 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. The difference in penetration performance between California and Florida is manifold. Their shells have different masses (555kg for Florida vs 680.4kg for California), different shell velocities due to different drag coefficients (0.271 for Florida vs 0.331 for California) and different Krupp values (2,945 for Florida vs 2,545 for California). Shells which fuse inside this bulge but outside of the hull spaces underneath result in zero damage penetrations. But so far CV's under the rework have mostly lacked that and are a farce. So, you can keep your Iowas, the romance (to me) lies in names like West Virginia, Tennessee and California. 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 @Aetam to host our content on his site. As you can imagine, writing for a web-page is much more forgiving than writing for a forum post -- it didn't have to all be written in a single sitting, for example. In going over Ship Comrade's archives, it was a treat to watch how my reviews grew in size and ambition. My early reviews were usually written in an afternoon and seldom held more than four or five jpegs. Florida's review has nearly thirty and has been written over the course of a week.. Really highlights the value of crossing the T - which, of course, no one doesbecause it doesnt work in WoWS. And I'm fine with that as long as they give us module choices like in RTS to customize are play. It's comparable to Arizona's and they each have their strengths. This means that a staggering 1,700,383 people are Ostensibly, California's range is supposed to help her here.
