![]() On top of that the Valiant has no preferential matchmaking, which means it can face Tier VII opponents who can easily beat it to death while you can do very little to no scratches on them at all unless you're using "special" ammo. The next thing is speed the Valiant is currently the second-slowest tank in the game after the infamous TOG II while lacking the TOG's gigantic HP pool and the famed 17-pounder to compensate for its incredible vulnerability against SPG's. ![]() Firstly, courtesy of a bad armor layout, the 114mm of hull armor only exists at the front of the driver's hatch and lower glacis while the rest is only 60mm thick, which means this tank is heavily reliant on 50/50 RNG to block shots. However the tank suffers from a lot of severe drawbacks. On paper the Valiant looks like an up-armored version of the Valentine, and similar to the Matilda Black Prince and Matilda IV in terms of stats, with a slightly better (but still mediocre) gun. Weak ammo rack located in the hull's shoulder and the upper side armor directly below the turret expect to see this tank blow up semi-frequently. No preferential matchmaking: had a chance to face a tier 7 opponents, all of which is equipped with a gun that can easily penetrate your tank while your gun is pretty much useless against them unless you're using gold ammo 91mm base penetration is still severely lacking against heavies at the same tier and some medium tanks Extremely thin roof armor (only 10mm at the engine deck and 20mm at the turret top), combined with its horrible mobility means it's extremely vulnerable against SPGs due to possibilities to get full damage by penetrating hits Upper glacis, despite having a decent pike nose, can be easily penetrated by any guns with 120mm+ penetration Second slowest tank in the game after TOG II (19km/h), will struggle to climb most slopes and hills Surprisingly good concealment values for a medium, at Tier V only the Pz. 12.5 degrees of depression, combined with the base turret front thickness and rounded "mantlet", very comfortable to play in a hull-down setup Side armor is surprisingly strong and can be used for sidescraping Frontal armor is effective against most guns with sub-100mm penetration Tied with Matilda Black Prince and Matilda IV for highest HP pool of all tier 5 mediums (800) Fast firing gun with enough penetration to hurt most poorly armored tanks ![]()
