She can also cause large caliber battleship armor piercing shells to ricochet off her angled midsection. Florida’s 37 mm deck is one of the most well-armored decks at Tier VII, making her highly resistant from cruiser and destroyer high-explosive shells.Īs a fast, slender ship with relatively well-armored extremities, Florida shrugs off most medium to low caliber high explosive shells. ‘’Colorado’’’s main armor belt is thinly plated at 26mm, while Florida’s lower belt is reinforced with 285mm of plating, protecting her citadel from long range battleship fire. While ‘’Colorado’’ features a wider frame with an underwater citadel, Florida has a slender frame with an above-water citadel.
She also excels as a late-game ambush predator, using her concealment to sneak up on unsuspecting cruisers and battleships and pump their broadsides full of steel.įlorida’s armor is in many ways the opposite of Tier VII tech tree American Battleship ‘’Colorado’’. With a surface detectability range of 13.9km (11km with relevant skills and upgrades), Florida is one of the stealthiest battleships at Tier VII, allowing her to choose engagements advantageous to her.
However, the subtle course adjustments needed to dodge incoming shells or avoid grounding on islands are not a problem, as she features a better than average turning circle.įlorida’s concealment is a defining feature of her playstyle. Her small health pool of 51,800, one of the lowest of all Tier VII battleships, exacerbates this vulnerability. With a rudder shift time of 15.4 seconds, she struggles to make course adjustments necessary for dodging torpedoes. Captains looking for a unique battleship experience will enjoy Florida’s opportunistic, ambush focused play style.įlorida’s hull characteristics prove advantageous in some situations and disadvantageous in others. Her hull differs greatly from Tier VII American Standard battleships Colorado and California, with a lower freeboard, heavily armored deck, and raised citadel. Tier VII premium American battleship Florida combines an accurate main battery with a moderate top speed and excellent concealment.
