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) California's AP 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. Instead, she has Gun Fire Control Modification 1 which increases her main battery gun range. This means for California to be worth her price tag, she's gotta make it up elsewhere. The Napoli is based on a preliminary design from Ansaldo for the Soviet Project 22 Heavy cruiser. Skill Floor: Simple / Casual / CHALLENGING / DifficultSkill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / HIGH / Difficult. They have averaged 3.5 goals per game (35 total) over that stretch. To be fair, I might actually like it based on the gun performance, but I have no real use for a squishy BB. Jones Angell, play-by Ships with stars have been changed or added since patch 0.9.6. Nothing can touch California, though, which sits smack in the middle of the tier VIII American BB range, rubbing elbows with Alabama, North Carolina and everyone's favourite: Massachusetts. The average cost of living in Florida is about If Florida was a battleship from any other nation, there would be very little worth noting here. 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. 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. Queens are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the spread. Wow. 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. In short, my guess is that Florida will do great in the only Tier 7 OP we currently have, although there are better choices. This season, Florida A&M has been the underdog 19 times and won four, or 21.1%, of those games. WebCalifornia is more of a dry heat while Florida is more humid It's generally sunny more so in california than in florida. But her bow? She doesn't have a nigh-impervious citadel like Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. 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. Florida, on the other hand, would be much more enjoyable if in other words, you are more likely to find claifornians in claifornia than floridians in florida Summary so far: You're buying a longer-ranged Arizona. Oh well, missed opportunities. Trouble is, I don't insist on such a ship being American; if I want a ship which does the things Florida does, I have KGV and Lyon. I'm left to wonder what the point of California's design implementation as is. 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). The Wildcats score just 1.4 fewer points per game (67.4) than the Gators give up (68.8). Once you get past MO, then you enjoy shelling APs at broadside of whatever that comes into the harbor. She doesn't get access to Aiming Systems Modification 1 to reduce her main battery gun dispersion. Once engaged at medium-range, there's really not much this ship can do about it short of trying to fight her way out. Were it me at the helm of California's project, if improving her offense was off the table I would have done something here. WG executive 1: "Hmm, not enough suckers are buying this new ship. 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.. WHEN: Monday, Feb. 27, 7 p.m. It's akin to (but not a copy of) the UFO-style acceleration found on British cruisers and destroyers. One of those was a T8 battle and one a T9.. They decelerate like normal battleships. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. You need to play a total of 20 battles to post in this section. 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. 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 Despite their outdated designs, they went on to not only find a role in the fast-modernizing US Navy but they went on to engage triumphantly in one of the final battleship surface actions in history. 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. I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. I think in this regard the ship is somewhat worth it. 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. I should preface this by saying that I love the American standard-type battleships. Wargaming burned me once too often in World of Tanks. 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. Over on the defensive end, the Panthers The accuracy plots in these reviews is awesome. She conforms to the norms for American battleships. 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. 1. California doesn't make up for her main battery gunnery with her secondaries. However, the larger map sizes makes this a lot more problematic. I think the real unfortunate detriment here is that it makes California more vulnerable to torpedoes. Thus cutting through all of the crap, California's only significant change is her range increase over Arizona and she pays for this with truly appalling gun fire arcs. Hood is listed without DFAA active, just know that the numbers shown here jump by 50% when she pulls the trigger. Everyone has their preferences but it's not bad. 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. While tier VI carriers have to respect your AA firepower they can still strike you. 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. 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. California isn't broken, she's just not over-tuned the way Arizona is. 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. Heres how you can watch Mondays game: UNC-FLORIDA STATE TV, RADIO, AND STREAMING INFORMATION. When Florida was first announced, I thought she would immediately obsolete California. I tore California a new one a few months ago for being not worth the asking price. While I do feel that Florida is a superior vessel to California, I don't feel that she's worth it either. Frankly, you're better served picking up Arizona at tier VI or even Alabama at tier VIII instead of Florida. Let me stress this: I don't think Alabama is worth the asking price either, but I would definitely recommend her over Florida. She's more reliable, if dull. The best bang for your buck for American premium battleships is Massachusetts and she's been one of the best premiums you can buy if you're shopping for one. Her primacy isn't challenged by Florida in the least. With Black Friday a little over a month away, if you're in the market for Massachusetts, then you might want to wait a month and grab it when her Black version goes back on sale if you like the cosmetic difference. I don't mean to try and sell you on other ships, my point is simply that there are a lot better choices for your time and money than investing in Florida. 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. No, she isn't. Simply put, it's the only thing which makes this ship viable as a tier VII vessel and even then it barely passes muster. 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. experience with Arizona down at tier VI. As we've already covered, she doesn't really have that much better of a chance of doing so than Arizona. 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%. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be., A shame about shipcomrade's closing. February 28, 2023 11:24 am ET. California uses New Mexico's 356mm/50 caliber guns rather than Arizona's 356mm/45s. 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. 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 Arizona's weapons are amazing at tier VI. Furthermore, that big 26mm area is just begging to receive hits from HE spam. And finally, as nice as the extra damage is, these are still 356mm guns. That fact has lingered with me but perhaps I can make her work better than most. Picking her up and farming some damage is pretty easy. Another review done really well. Thanks for your hard work. 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. 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. Summary so far: Well, so far so good, I suppose. 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. While California does have some minor improvements over Arizona, they are (in my opinion) inconsequential. The only Florida Ive seen in Narai was deleted 3 minutes in somehow. Coz no mehbote to gudbote rating. heh), and overall they tend to start fires quite a bit. For me she simply, "clicks". Results will vary. Mouse, while knowledgeable, is subject to her own personal biases, likes, preferences, just like the rest of us. Long range is nice, so flex those aiming skills you've acquired, but her gun caliber and long reload will largely limit the impact this has. You probably want, Arizona & California's Main Battery Differences. TV: ESPN ( Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+) RADIO: Tar Heel Sports Network. Her protection scheme is otherwise fine though her snoot is a huge weak spot. The Soviets infamously have it too. I won't be purchasing her. Lert really helped me appreciate the game play of the "American Bricks" way back in 2016. My Dallas and Helena should have the same pen as my Cleveland and Seattle, with or without IFHE in the game. Arizona sits just behind California in AP and HE DPM, but not so much that you'll notice in most cases. Like American Lite Beer, the CV rework has a lot to answer for. Same is true for Ashitaka of course (or Yet CDC data indicates that California's death rate is gaining ground on Florida, with seven-day average daily deaths at 1.4 per 100,000 residents, compared to Florida's 0.8 per 100,000. The moneyline odds say Florida has a 62.3% chance of winning this game. This is why I frown on a difference of 0.1 sigma being used as a selling feature -- it's a "spreadsheet" value that will affect a ship over the course of several games but isn't likely to be significant within a single match. California VS Florida Beaches the BIGGEST Differences EXPLAINED They are held in all 50 states and all Canadian provinces. 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. You can also forget about successfully kiting or disengaging when things turn sour. The Jaguars have not played a game with moneyline odds of -320 or shorter. 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. North Florida are 4-1 in their last 5 games. 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). If they don't want people comparing her to Arizona, Arizona needs to be pulled. 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.. So you can largely forget about getting anywhere fast. USS California's inclusion in World of Warships bothers me on so many levels.
