California's AP penetration is okay. Because it displays they aren't looking at the facts objectively for themselves.. 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. You get tier VIII American battleship AA firepower at tier VII. She has said as much herself in the past. I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. This might have meant something back before the CV rework, but it's a joke currently. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbooks lines around the North Carolina vs. Florida State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.. North 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. The tragic and horrific June 24 collapse of the Surfside Champlain Towers notwithstanding, the purplish-red sunshine state is dynamic, diverse, Her top speed of 27 knots is completely acceptable for a tier VII battleship. heh), and overall they tend to start fires quite a bit. For me she simply, "clicks". Results will vary. I bought the super Pershing in Tanks.. opps. They'd also have to stop with things like secondary's being a national flavour thing. I wouldn't be a Community Contributor (CC) if it weren't for Critter8. I'm not sure the WGNA CC-program would have even existed if it weren't for him. Back in 2015, before there was a Community Contributor program, content creators like myself worked unsupported by Wargaming in any capacity. The predecessor to the NA-CC program was Club Wargaming which promised the world and delivered nothing but a booger-green title on the forums. Club Wargaming included dozens of content creators which had sprung up during Closed and Open Beta, including some big names like @PhlyDaily. All of us were paying out of pocket to produce content or having to rely on donations from fans to get access to the newest premium content. Critter8 took exception to this. He had made Ship Comrade -- a fan site whose best early features included tracking Rank Battle progress and had one of (if not THE) first Captain Skill calculator. He took his fandom seriously and wanted a professional relationship with Wargaming to facilitate content production. 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. 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. Delaware: $2,137. Now that said, with this high-profile release covered and my feels (hopefully) clearly broadcast, I'm taking some much needed time off. Wow. Take this review lightly. Summary so far: California has absolutely amazing AA levels. 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. The reload time is my biggest issue.. So, there are slow battleships in World of Warships and then there are the American premium standard-types. Time to load up on bath salts and eat the faces of cruisers. It's just a matter of making the ship fun and/or interesting to play. Wargaming burned me once too often in World of Tanks. 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. Normally I'm not bothered by the napkinwaffe ships, hell some of my favorite ships in this game never left the blueprint stage. Wargaming will try and sell you this ship bragging that this reach is to California's advantage. I'm just a slightly above average player too. LittleWhiteMouse, July 2, 2020 in General Game Discussion. The UNC basketball program heads to Florida State for its final road game of the season on Monday night. The Rattlers have not entered a game this season with longer moneyline odds In Florida, the water is generally colder than in California. I was curious about this ship as i really love playing Arizona. They are phoenixes that rose from the ashes of Pearl Harbor. She has excellent AA firepower. No. If they don't want people comparing her to Arizona, Arizona needs to be pulled. Florida wins this battle hands down. I'd actually rather get California, because she's an extension of a ship type (US Standards) thatI have played a lot and really enjoy. I'm not going to waste too much time on this review (she says, and then spends four whole days on it). 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. Her protection scheme is otherwise fine though her snoot is a huge weak spot. Horrible rudder shift time of 15.4 seconds. This is a booby prize in the current meta. So, you can keep your Iowas, the romance (to me) lies in names like West Virginia, Tennessee and California. Thx mouse. And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. Let's pretend Arizona doesn't exist. If for any particular reason I needa fast American battleship, I have Georgia.. It's akin to (but not a copy of) the UFO-style acceleration found on British cruisers and destroyers. The historical design was called for a ship with nine 250 mm guns in three triple turrets with two superfiring at the front and one at the rear. Based on this contests moneyline, Southern has an implied win probability of 76.2%. Now, Republican Florida Gov. 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 California uses New Mexico's 356mm/50 caliber guns rather than Arizona's 356mm/45s. By Even then, it's often not enough. Same old, same old. There's a pretty hard cap on how far skill will take you with this ship. . Ouch. I don't know why Wargaming decided to neuter Florida's fire setting so badly. I guess this will encourage players to reach for AP whenever possible. Keep in mind that these values do not include the fire resistance of their opponents nor the ship's accuracy. Fire resistance values against the opponents Florida usually faces is anywhere between 30% to 45% or so. So if you're managing to hit with 1/3 of Florida's shells against a tier VIII target, then instead of 4 fires and change, you're more likely going to see one per minute. Maybe. Im gonna judge based on the review its probably a Mehbote. Mileage probably determined on if you want a premium USN BB for Narai or not. Florida man, Florida man Guess the tune. Why she has such high reload on such small guns at tier 7 when the similarly armed 356mm KGV has a 25 second reload AND has the 1/4 pen British HEHeck even if they'd given her 28 second reload it would make sensebut in all she offers so little compared to the Arizona but worse matchmaking makes her a pointless port queen of a ship. WebFlorida and California are remarkably similar for their warm climates, beaches, tourist destinations, immigrant populations, and more, but both states could not be more WHEN: Monday, Feb. 27, 7 p.m. 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.. Now that said, with this high-profile release covered and my feels (hopefully) clearly broadcast, I'm taking some much needed time off. Her stern is made up of composite layers of armour beneath the 26mm outer shell in a similar vein to Giulio Cesare's bow. Small hit point pool for a tier VII battleship. 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. USN could choose between type of plane, type of ordnance, etc. Solid rearward firing angles, well suited to kiting. 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. I imagine I would like it a lot more than Rado or Calibut, certainly not more than Scharnhorst., Fun things I learned in training matches this week. Whenever I use a BB for Narai, I prefer to go east of convoy so that I can catch MO broadside when it turns. California is a longer ranged Arizona with slightly improved damage output between better AP shells and a faster reload. 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. All they had to do was drop the reload down to sub 30 seconds and I think more people would be interested in her. Why she has such high reload on s Ez fix". She is to Arizona what Alabama is to Massachusetts & North Carolina-- entirely forgettable and an unfortunate waste of money for worse game play. California's shells have higher muzzle velocity. Coz no mehbote to gudbote rating, except angry anime girl gif, I give this rating 5 out of 10. Deposit $200, Get $250. Thank you for the preemptive warning, I mean review on this one. This picture is the best thing I could think of to illustrate CA's introduction to So here's California's main selling feature. 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. Excellent AA firepower, equivalent to a tier VIII American battleship. I have felt these three combined weaknesses acutely with Florida. I don't feel that they're enough to damn the ship, but they are very obviously weaknesses. Unlike the higher tiered sniper-battleships, Florida finds herself more often in claustrophobic maps where she cannot rely on simply out-ranging targets. She's asked to tank a lot more more than say, Champagne. Even when she does appear on larger maps, this comes with the threat of higher-tiered opponents and more overmatching guns so it's catch 22. Knowing which opponents you can face tank and which you can't are important. But so very often I was forced to show my cute butt and kite away when the pressure was on. Florida's not-good(ish) forward fire angles meant that firing all three turrets forward was just asking to have shells rammed into her stepped citadel. It was far safer to fight, firing over her shoulder with her forward turrets slinging shells to her rear., Being far more limited in what aggressive plays this ship can make hurts her carrying ability. Turning to fight will often just get you killed. It limits what decisive actions she can take. It's hard to be heroic if you're constantly forced to follow Sir Robin's playbook.. However, she has very poor gun fire angles, horrible agility and no appreciable gains in defense all while being up-tiered to tier VII. Thus her range becomes even more important. She could have ended up like Poltava with a max of 4 charges of heals. The only Florida Ive seen in Narai was deleted 3 minutes in somehow. Looking at the charts, i'm surprised how average Poltava is. 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. 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. +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 They could have made California powerful. TV: ESPN ( Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+) RADIO: Tar Heel Sports Network. 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). The property tax in Florida averages at 0.98% whereas in California it is 0.73%. Certainly can defend herself against carriers with her decent AA. Florida is the state that more or less stayed open during the pandemic and thrived in its defiance. See Full Along with either A: removing IFHE or B: changing DCP and Repair Party to have slightly faster CD's and Repair Party to fix more pen damage if IFHE stays. When comparing living in California vs Florida, you should also be aware of the economy and job market of each state. U.S. News and World Report ranked Florida as the 8th best economy in America, with job growth at 2.4% per year, which is significantly higher than the national average of 1.4%. California gets no tools to seriously mitigate this. WebThere are thousands of Pow Wows held across North American. But so far CV's under the rework have mostly lacked that and are a farce. THIS should be your mission statement. Most of those nice, tight groups are gonna miss anyways. Are they good enough to be tier VII guns? That just makes her easy meat for enterprising lolibotes. But again, Arizona is a thing. follow. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be., A shame about shipcomrade's closing. Same with cruisers - they didn't have to cower behind islands like now, they could fire and fade away. She can contribute. March 1, 2023 10:00 am CT.
