Great video. I'm enjoying this commander, haven't tried her on Georgia yet but she sure puts some much-needed pep in Florida's step...especially when you've got Cruisers to shoot. GG Captain...enjoyed watching👍
It'll help--slightly. Florida has a myriad of problems that combine to make the ship an exceptionally poor performer. AL Colorado will help with the miserable reload, but does little for the poor accuracy and nothing at all for the colossal citadel and T6 armor problem. Florida has no strengths. It has only weaknesses and there is only so much you can do to mitigate them. Where WG has dropped the ball on this ship is the guns. It essentially has the 14" Mk7/MK11 guns when historically it was meant to have the 14" MkB gun. This gun would have had much improved performance over the older weapons, but development stopped early on when the escalation clause of the WNT was invoked. WG could do what they want with this gun to improve the ship, but so far no joy.
Probably slightly. One of the problems with Florida, in my view, is the long main battery reload time. This would definitely get it under 30 seconds, which would be an improvement. Would it make up for the rest of that ship’s pitfalls though? Ehhh
I've seen the other comments but for me AL Colorado is a nice shot in the arm for Florida, got her main battery reload at 27.8 seconds. Of course reload time is not Florida's only shortcoming, but it's fun to play with this commander if you've got some Cruisers to shoot at...can be devastating to them. If you get a game with lots of Battleships the fun will be diminished. When that happens load HE and support your DDs, maybe set some fires before you are likely dev-struck
If only the reds hadn’t folded so hard in that one. I had the broadsides of all their BBs and it could easily have turned into a lot more if it had gone on a little bit longer.
I'm pretty sure the skill counts each barrel individually. Meaning if you fire 2 of your 3 turrets, that 3rd turret will forever be off sync until you fire that 3rd gun and let it reload before firing them all together again. Because of this, someone using AL Colorado needs to be comfortable with being off sync with all their guns because sometimes it's not the best decision to show enough angle to get all your guns off together. Overall, Colorado is a pretty good commander, but I do think, however, that AL NJ is better.
That’s what I was thinking. I think you’ll notice in the video a few times that two of my turrets are reloading quicker than the third. I assumed the skill must count the guns individually. So yeah, you’re gonna run into an out of sync reload sometimes. And I agree. AL NJ is better. AL CO is more like a meme.
No. Ms Colorado works best on ships with either alot of guns like the Montana and Maine, or very accurate guns, like the Constellation. Ms. New Jersey is still slightly better for the Ohio and Georgia. Do keep in mind that both commanders are usable and effective.
Battleships that have a super long reload I think benefit from this I mean it's better than a 34 35 or 36 second reload Kansas and Minnesota come to mind Florida too
I was the one in the Belfast on your flank in the second match. I fired a shot across your bow at the start of the match as a hello of sorts (think you gave me a many thanks in reply, might’ve been sarcastic). Anyway, GG and glad I could help end your night with a W.
I had to abandon A because I outran my smoke and got blapped to like 200 health. Tried to spot on my way to B, a cruiser started backing into B so I switched to going to C, threw a smoke to hit the BB near you and then got spotted once that wore off. Dead.
If u want to team up, I normally run IJN destroyers. Can manipulate some broadsides with torp lanes and keep folks spotted. I'd like to learn and get critiques in real time from someone who knows more.
I was talking more about the Amalfi and BB who spawned with me on the flank (I think you spawned mid so it would make sense for you to not necessarily just go right in the middle cap). Those two ships abandoned the flank for seemingly no reason.
1:15 typical legends play anymore. a prime example of why more and more are leaving the game or playing less and less. Your second game was sadly another example of a typical game. rarely are they close anymore. one side or the other steamrolls. its not satisfying or enjoyable Personally i am playing the minimum to complete things and looking at other games Good point about playing the flank doesnt mean pushing. If I have little to no support I will play the flank but not as aggressively. Situational and map awareness is key. I think constellation would be another good ship for this commander. We need the option to turn off the comm wheel. Too many times fools are spamming it or the horn. Was in an ai match and the kid discovered his horn and blew it the entire match. If I could have tk'd him I would have. Yet weegee in their "wisdom" says that it would prevent players from sending us valuable info. No weegee let ME decide what I deem as essential. Same with blocking people should prevent them instancing with us. Fools that leave their flank or terribad dd players deserve to be blocked. Weegee CLEARLY only cares about money and not the quality of their game or gameplay. Its across ALL their games with the same problems. I was considering wot console but hearing the same complaints about gameplay. Yet weegee doesnt care. So well they lose out as im taking my money and time elsewhere.
The goal of the blueberry is to throw the game as fast as possible
I think the AL Colorado unique skill works out to be about a 9% total reduction to reload time. And the effect is singular turret based.

You’re not the first person to mention Florida. I think I’m gonna put AL CO on there and see how it goes.
I've been wondering if an AL Colorado build could help Florida be a little less tragic to play, but I haven't tried yet.

That second game would have shaped to be a 6 pack I imagine. Well played

These are lessons these players SHOULD have learned long before T7.

I dream of a day when this ship will drop for GXP 😔
Well if they do it like the like two Christmas's you could say hell with it and by Georgia W which is a clone of Of Georgia and is the exact same ship

wait, the enemy Anhalt was the same player as the guy that rammed you in your previous video
Was it? No way. Well, I would say vengeance was mine, but that was the game my team lost, so…
That's pretty much standard play at this point
AL Colorado good for Kansas?😮
i like the azur lane commanders and like i havnt used her as a cmdr yet but i use new jersey as a cmdr on georgia for obvious reason if u know
Hey I'm not a potato 😅 edubdos in the Friesland

Lol. 3 salvos and still cant kill a 10k colorado flat broadside, lmfo
But you have good reload so its doesnt matter?
