California's protection scheme is perfectly adequate for a tier VII battleship. Oh no you didn't! Arizona sits just behind California in AP and HE DPM, but not so much that you'll notice in most cases. Fair enough. Thank you for the preemptive warning, I meanreview on this one. Thanks for your time on the review @LittleWhiteMouse. It's worth being said: Arizona over-performs at her tier. Her rotation rate of 4.1/s is again, pretty average. February 28, 2023 11:24 am ET. heh), and overall they tend to start fires quite a bit. For me she simply, "clicks". Results will vary. According to FBI data, there were a total of 1.3 million violent offenses reported in 2020, or 388 for every 100,000 people -- a 5% increase from 2019. You can find a Pow Wow somewhere close to you! California is very sneaky for a tier VII battleship. Mouse, while knowledgeable, is subject to her own personal biases, likes, preferences, just like the rest of us. That's MUCH better than 1.5 sigma on New Mexico!" 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. This means that a staggering 1,700,383 people are However, for a consumer looking for the best bang for their buck, why buy California when Arizona is available? You have a lot to learn from Ms. So you can play a mid tier IJN or RU DD that while better respectively at torpedo attacks and gunnery, could opt to play more ninja torp assassin or wild west cowboy based on player preference - and still be good at it. Calfornia does have a higher muzzle velocity and thus better AP penetration over distance. No, she isn't. . 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. Even then, it's often not enough. Something not really mentioned is her torpedo protection, though probably not needed due to her low HP. That 26% really doesn't amount to much as even a single torpedo from any of the ships you face there will hurt, especially if it hits an unprotected spot. You will need to avoid being torpedoed with her much more than any other BB. A salvo from the Campbeltown will cripple you, even if it all goes into the torpedo belt. Eat a salvo from the Farragut, and you are going to be in very bad shape. A salvo from Gallant will pretty much end your run. If either Farragut or Gallant hit you with a full (both launchers) salvo, your run is over, even at 100%. Certainly can defend herself against carriers with her decent AA. Looking at the charts, i'm surprised how average Poltava is. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be. The moneyline odds say Florida has a 62.3% chance of winning this game. Same old, same old. Though they would have to actually work on balancing CV's (a lot of ordnance damage needs to come down, AA needs to be fixed/balanced, plane regen/hanger needs to be worked on, etc) and bring back odd tiers before we get to that. California's secondaries are crap and they didn't have to be. She doesn't have boosted HE shell damage the way Japanese and British battleships do, so she's kind of lackluster there. TALLAHASSEE Flexing his power over one of Floridas largest employers, Gov. California can give you some reasonable games. Summary so far: California has absolutely amazing AA levels. It could be worse, I suppose. Flak Bursts: 5 explosions for 1400 damage per blast at 3.5km to 5.8km.Long Ranged (up to 5.8km): 157.5dps at 75% accuracyMedium Ranged (up to 4.0km): 269.5dps at 75% accuracyShort Ranged (up to 2.0km): 318.5dps at 70% accuracy. 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. Summary so far: California's agility is absolutely appalling and worse than it had to be. California's shells have higher muzzle velocity. You'll probably have to shell out some extra cash for the Freedom camo, whether that will be through a bundle or with doubloons after the fact. Softer-skinned than contemporary battleships with 25mm extremities. The UNC basketball program heads to Florida State for its final road game of the season on Monday night. 356mm guns lack overmatching ability against targets with 25mm+ extremities. It's comparable to Arizona's and they each have their strengths. 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). It's just the 26mm outer portion until you smack the transverse bulkheads protecting her citadel. Time to re-use a graphic because battleship skill optimization has stagnated! You get tier VIII American battleship AA firepower at tier VII. Pow Wows In Your State Pow Wows in California Redbird's 21st Children of Many Colors Intertribal Pow Wow 2023 Jun 2 - Jun 4, 2023 - Oxnard CA I think the best thing to examine is how worth it is the ship in not just randoms and ranked, but coop and ops. Now it's just a reminder of how much potential is wasted in the current meta. Without allies to road-block, California will be run down, sneaky or not. I don't want to touch California. Actually, and strangely, 109k dmg each battle. 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. Please be aware that her performance may change in the future. Well, I guess that settles that. They could have made California powerful. Overall, the accuracy is very good, but not "crazy". The biggest advantage here is her increased range with the rest largely being window-dressings. California is a longer ranged Arizona with slightly improved damage output between better AP shells and a faster reload. Once you start stacking on any other flaws and they just become unpalatable -- and California's gun handling and reload are some pretty wonky flaws, especially when paired with her slow speed. HE pen on cruisers needs to be standardized beyond say national things like Germany having 1/4. Base/Minimum Surface Detection: 13.5km / 11.79kmBase/Minimum Air Detection Range: 9.69km/ 8.72kmDetection Range When Firing in Smoke: 11.71km. Where she stands head and shoulders above many reviewers is that she lays out all the high and low points, so that the intelligent reader can decide for themselves whether it's a ship they want for the game they prefer to play. 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. Solid rearward firing angles, well suited to kiting. I admit a terrible reluctance to call any battleship's AA firepower "good". This said, when a pristine Florida activates her Defensive AA Fire and doubles her DPS, she has good AA firepower. TV: ESPN ( Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+) RADIO: Tar Heel Sports Network. Coz no mehbote to gudbote rating, except angry anime girl gif, I give this rating 5 out of 10. 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%. Simply put, it's the only thing which makes this ship viable as a tier VII vessel and even then it barely passes muster. Big, punchy guns are a must. I prefer durability to agility, but I need one of those two elements to be present. If a battleship can't manage these things, they've got a big, uphill battle to win my affections. Some of them still manage it. Scharnhorst, for example, doesn't have the main battery guns to wow me, but she still pulls off a win between her secondaries, fish and the combination of speed and tankiness. I've tried to keep an open mind while play testing Florida, but good gravy, my time in her has not been pleasant. I'm under no illusions that this is very clearly a me problem. Florida herself is a well balanced ship. I just hate her. She doesn't have any one element of this trifecta that I enjoy in my battleships. Over on the defensive end, the Panthers The bot was without camouflage. Wargaming burned me once too often in World of Tanks. Now, let me be clear: Arizona, the tier VI American premium, is awesome. That depends on the player. Aside from a few times, the last run of Narai had me using no other vessel than Florida. I've very much enjoyed using her there. As pointed out, she is squishy. If you nose on to MO and the CO that shows later on (and they take a liking to you), they'll very easily citadel you. If you angle properly however, you will bounce them all day long (minus the occasion stray that can and will hurt). Avoid going nose on against any of the BB's regardless, and sure as spork do not show too much side either. So here's California's main selling feature. 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. The issue, though, is that they're not improved enough over the tier VI premium's to be worthwhile. Absolutely. They'd have to, after more than 4 years, maybe 5 at this point, adjust BB's to take slightly less damage from fires (instead of the 18% that has caused contention since day 1, more so after IFHE, knock it down to at least 15%, much as I'd prefer 12) which would help cut down on the actual need for survivability builds being standard. Price Comparison Legoland Tickets. Florida seems to have the speed to get to this position. Are California's main battery guns better than Arizona's? They're perfectly adequate -- I'm not here to tell you that they're broken, bugged, under-performing or what have you. They're well balanced and put out the hurt reasonably well. In fact, they've got a lot of good things going for them including good(ish) fire arcs, good range, decent AP penetration values and that sweet, sweet battlecruiser dispersion. So what's my beef? I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. However, the premium standards Arizona, West Virginia 1941 and now California, all lack this boost. In their past 10 matchups, the Panthers are 6-4-0 to earn 80.0% of the possible points. Small hit point pool for a tier VII battleship. 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. 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. Florida's upgrade choices are pretty dull. 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 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). I bought the super Pershing in Tanks.. opps. Ron DeSantis exacts punishment, takes over Disney district on eve of book launch. 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 California, like most of her standard battleship relatives, features a 26mm bow, stern, and most of her deck. While at lower tiers this may be enough to deflect enemy fire, the normalization of the 406mm or higher guns at tier VIII and IX means that players will have to be careful in engagements against most higher tier battleships. Whenever I use a BB for Narai, I prefer to go east of convoy so that I can catch MO broadside when it turns. Make IJN CV's actually historical, there are a number of options because while personally I'd restrictattack planes to the bombs they actually carried being HE, the standard torps and/or SAP DB's could be swapped out for Level Bombing AP (800 kg) bombs or Level Bombing carpet bombers (cause IJN TB's could and did do that kind of stuff). So California has good concealment! This is a top-down view of California with her 343mm belt highlighted in red. Summary so far: You're buying a longer-ranged Arizona. California uses New Mexico's 356mm/50 caliber guns rather than Arizona's 356mm/45s. She just isn't a must-have in my fleet, which for me makes her a don't-buy. The final thing to keep in mind is that because of her long range, every time she pulls the trigger, she rings the dinner bell. For me, Lyon is the best BB for Narai, Ashitaka being the second, due to their speed and DPM. The sales tax in Florida is 6% whereas in California it is 7.25%. Horrible gun handling and appalling gun firing angles. WebUSN Battleship Captain Skills (Redux):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bGGPXo_hUSituational Awareness And You - Some Tips to Improve Situational Florida struggles even more. Don't brawl. You'll die. 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. Landing citadel hits against enemy battleships tends to fall off at ranges over 14km or so, but you should still be able to land penetrating hits through most belts you'll encounter. Taylor Jones. They are held in all 50 states and all Canadian provinces. While California does have some minor improvements over Arizona, they are (in my opinion) inconsequential. The tragic and horrific June 24 collapse of the Surfside Champlain Towers notwithstanding, the purplish-red sunshine state is dynamic, diverse, 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. But again, Arizona is a thing. Personally, I find the Florida to be a better ship than the California. Florida's citadel layout tells you all you really need to know about this ship's durability. The TL:DR is that her citadel abuts against the exterior of her hull and it sits above the waterline. With only 285mm worth of belt protection, this exposed "T-section" of her citadel is stupid-easy to bullseye for waterline-aimed shots from enemy battleships. For 380mm+ AP shells aimed at her bows, her transverse bulkhead is almost as vulnerable. 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.. Overall, the ships are very comparable in terms of their protection and durability. And I'm a Native CAn. It had a good run.. Unlike Arizona which finds herself occasionally enjoying the 36km x 36km claustrophobic maps of lower tiers, California more often than not sees the 42m x 42km and 48km x 48km maps of higher tiers. Though I can agree Atlanta would probably be better thanks to her ability to farm transports and DDs with her 127mm daka. If you're struggling to see a difference in as clinical and sterile a trial as this, you have no hope of feeling the difference through normal game play. Florida is 10-6 when scoring more than 69.3 points. 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. California is a ship without game play identity. Thanks for your hard work. Furthermore, it's not going to put off a determined tier VIII carrier even for a moment. 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. They decelerate like normal battleships. I'm not telling you which ship is which. I'm just a slightly above average player too. Vulnerable, high-water citadel with as little as 285mm worth of armour. 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 Tier for tier, Arizona is the better protected ship with her armour and hit points meaning more at tier VI than California's at tier VII. This season, Florida A&M has been the underdog 19 times and won four, or 21.1%, of those games. While tier VI carriers have to respect your AA firepower they can still strike you. If you purchase online, Legoland Florida tickets are $84.99 (plus fees and tax) while Legoland California is $94.99 for kids and $100.99 for adults (plus fee and tax). The following is a review of California, the tier VII American battleship. This ship has been provided to me by Wargaming for evaluation purposes - 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 In their past 10 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. Delaware: $2,137. California VS Florida Beaches the BIGGEST Differences EXPLAINED As we've already covered, she doesn't really have that much better of a chance of doing so than Arizona. If they don't want people comparing her to Arizona, Arizona needs to be pulled. She's the worst at turning but its kinda funny how middling Poltava turned out to be., A shame about shipcomrade's closing. So imagine my disappointment when, against all advice, Wargaming stuck to their guns and pulled a copy-paste job of USS Arizona's performance and tacked it onto California. If you're trying to get from A to B as fast as possible, you're not going to want to touch your rudder. As for the economic impact, Californias unemployment rate more than doubled to 9.3% since February 2020, while Floridas rose by less, from 3.3% to 5.1%. Queens are 9-8 in their road games against the spread. Queens are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the spread. You probably want Expert Marksman over Adrenaline Rush on your first pass. 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. 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. Florida man, Florida man Guess the tune. The Gators average only 0.2 more points than the Wildcats allow (69.3). Are they good enough to be tier VII guns? Would you prefer if they decided based on other CCs instead? Hes played the game since then but you can tell he has not played it much based on HOW he plays some ships. I think the real unfortunate detriment here is that it makes California more vulnerable to torpedoes. So, you can keep your Iowas, the romance (to me) lies in names like West Virginia, Tennessee and California. 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.. It should be hella tasty and refreshing. And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. Take this review lightly. And foodfor thought as I review my Steam summertime queue to see where best to spend my $. The 0.8s improved reload time and harder hitting AP shells are okay, but you can't feel the 0.1 sigma difference. You know it. Had she been strong, I think I could have just sat aside and let people discover that for themselves. She might not be physically present in the heat of combat, but her reach should allow her to at least offer some contribution while she lags way in the back. A slow American standard-type battleship with horrible gun firing arcs but improved long-range gunnery with her twelve 356mm guns. This ship isn't likely to sneak up on anyone, mostly because it's patently unable to catch up to anything that doesn't want to be caught. She conforms to the norms for American battleships. Thx mouse. And another premium ship to skip, even Zoup has a different opinion. But so far CV's under the rework have mostly lacked that and are a farce. How likely your shells are to do damage if they do hit. Her horrible gun fire angles necessitate that she swing out and show a lot more broadside in order to bring the weight of fire to bear on targets. TV: ESPN ( Watch and stream the game live on ESPN+) RADIO: Tar Heel Sports Network. VERDICT: She's squishy -- squishier than the usual tier VII battleship and they struggle a lot with durability. Taylor Jones. Enjoy your break, you earn it every time you do one of these. Maybe Repair Party needs to be a little less unique on cruisers, other than UK zombie type or other such quirks. The totals have gone OVER in 7 of Queens' 11 last games at home. The horrible fire arcs on California's guns will necessitate more manoeuvring to swing out her guns and then duck back which will only ensure she's stuck on the lower end of this speed. The uptick was led by a spike in homicide. Shots are coming in from right to left with Fuso bow-tanking. You can forget keeping up with the pace of battle. By However, I do not love Arizona so much that I think cloning her game play and asking people to pay a premium price tag for a tier VII version is right. I HATE when people hinge whether they are going to buy a ship or not based on her reivew. 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. And that's fair to say. The Gators average only 0.2 more points than the Wildcats allow (69.3). Here's a better view of how deep California's belt extends. 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. There's lots of ways they could have gone about it, though I think the most elegant solution would have been to give her 32mm structural plate on her bow, stern, deck and upper hull, akin to a tier VIII battleship. You can also forget about successfully kiting or disengaging when things turn sour. 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. I love my standards -- I love them to death. You probably want, Arizona & California's Main Battery Differences. These weapons are not worth upgrading any more than you would find it worthwhile to upgrade North Carolina's or Alabama's secondaries. The most pressing thing to worry about when playing Florida is her citadel. Unlike the other "sniper" battleships like Slava and Champagne, the "softness" of Florida's hull is barely a concern. The 25mm extremities which damn her higher tiered cousins do not apparently have a lower-tier equivalency. I was expecting Florida to appear with 19mm of extremity armour but she instead clones the higher tiered ship weakness with 25mm instead. Given that all of the other tier VI and VII battleships are rocking 26mm worth of extremity plate, the loss of a single millimeter is not that much of a drawback. At most, this makes Florida slightly more vulnerable to HE shells from small and medium caliber guns -- specifically 152mm HE shells from tiers VII and below do not need to reach for Inertial Fuse for HE Shells in order to stack direct damage against Florida as they would against her tier-mates. Similarly, Florida is vulnerable to 120mm HE shells with Inertial Fuse for HE Shells. That's really the extent this soft skin provides in terms of vulnerability. Otherwise her superstructure, upper hull and amidships deck all conform to normal parameters for a tier VII battleship. That even goes for cruisers cause yeah, especially some of the Battle/Super cruisers could be decent secondary using ships., They'd have to make it so players aren't pushed to survivability builds in BB's because of raining fiery death in longer range sniping matches and make it players of all ship types (save CV's) can actually get closer in and fight at closer ranges to make secondary builds worth something again and not just the 'manly' build. California epitomizes the state that chose harsh conformity instead. She's missing an ice-breaker bow like the aforementioned German ships. So while California is an obvious gunnery upgrade over New Mexico, California is only a soft upgrade on Arizona. WebThe water temperatures differ in California vs Florida beaches because of the different climates. Most of those nice, tight groups are gonna miss anyways. However, the larger map sizes makes this a lot more problematic. ET. You joke but I warned the devs of this exact thing. Tip from Donald L. Tucker Center is at 7 p.m. Jones Angell, play-by Skill Floor: Simple / Casual / CHALLENGING / DifficultSkill Ceiling: Low / Moderate / HIGH / Difficult. LOCATION: Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee, Florida. The 0.1 sigma difference is imperceptible in game play -- you couldn't tell the difference if you tried. Looking at the charts, i'm surprised how average Poltava is. This is why I prefer Lyon over them, but Gnei/Sharn are quite good for Narai too. VERDICT: Pretty darned good for raw concealment values, though she struggles to spot stuff on her own. It's too bad she doesn't have the agility to make better use of this trait. All they had to do was drop the reload down to sub 30 seconds and I think more people would be interested in her. Really highlights the value of crossing the T - which, of course, no one doesbecause it doesnt work in WoWS. What's more, California does not offer anything novel in the way of game play short of having better AA firepower. Be careful on saying the ship is good because it's performing well. The moneyline odds say Florida has a 62.3% chance of winning this game. Queens are 2-3 in their last 5 games. Make it that maybe it's worth making a sneakierBB build to sort of flank an enemy team when in a faster one then surprise them., Unless you remove skill entirely - there will never be no 'optimal build' for a ship, even a type may still have one that is considered overall 'better' than the others - but they can at least make it choosing to run secondary build on German and French BB's is a choice in style more than a handicap. Still, she's not far removed from Arizona -- like, the differences are barely perceptible. California isn't broken, she's just not over-tuned the way Arizona is. ET. +1 on the review but I am enjoying the Florida. But the winter surge slammed California, and that gap narrowed to 11%. I'm constantly fighting with her rudder or her guns and she has nothing I value to compensate for it. In closing, I should stress again: Florida is fine. She's not broken. There will be some people who really dig her sniper game play. I'm not one of those people. I like to have the option of getting in close and hitting people with my sword. Florida doesn't let me do that. She has said as much herself in the past.
