    7:59 fun fact in real life it was actually quite fast, not in terms of max speed but average speed. it was faster than most light tanks offroad, and faster than all light tanks over long distances even on roads.

    If you're interested, the reason the Valentine Mk. IX didn't have a coax was because of how the six pounder was mounted internally. They could have probably built around it but the Mk.IXs were being built at a pretty critical moment in the war and production counts were more important than anything at that point. Later variants would re-gain the coax once the 6 pounder was replaced with the 75mm quick firing gun.
    I'm a pretty big Valentine enjoyer, it served in every theatre of the war and the diesel engine versions were brutally reliable, there were certain units that drove 5,000km in North Africa, a notoriously harsh environment on most tanks of the time. Pretty much everyone who received them liked them, the Soviets were still ordering new Valentines as late as '44 even though on paper they had far better tanks available to them.

    Spook, I think you should revisit the Falcon now it's gone up to 8.3 in the recent BR changes. Usually, this makes certain tanks worse (*cough* Char 25T *cough*), but I think the Falcon just got better. A reasonable number of 9.3 tanks are very much edible, such as the MBT-70/KPz, the rare Type 93, the Begleit, the Leo A1A1, 2S25, CV9030, etc etc. Plus, you're less likely to see WW2 monsters with a focus on heavier armour which the Falcon simply can't pen. Like the Maus, for example. Much rarer to see compared to last patch, I find.
    Bonus try out the Rooikat Mk.1D. It's much less good :D

    The most annoying thing about the Valentine IX (and the Churchill III) is that Gaijin got the guns wrong.
    They gave the Churchill III the 6pdr Mk V whilst giving the Valentine IX the shorter 6pdr Mk III version. In reality it was the other way around and you can see that ingame by the fact that the Valentine has a significantly longer barrel.
    Also the Valentine X version has a slightly redesigned turret to allow a coaxial machine gun. I don't know why Gaijin didn't add this version.

    The Valentine tank was Vickers promising to build an infantry support tank that was lightweight and cheap. The Valentine manages to be lighter than a Crusader light tank and has around twice the armor. Also, its production started on the early years of the war and mainly saw combat in North Africa. The German army in North Africa was basically last to get vehicles, equipment, and supplies.
    Britain would stop using it in front line combat as soon as the Churchill and Shermans became mainstays of the British armor divisions.

      It was basically a welded Matilda 2, From what I can find the engines were also derived from commercial engines and the tank was rather reliable, likely because it wasn't especially heavy, at about half the weight of the Sherman.

  • @joaogomes9405
    @joaogomes9405 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    To be fair to the valentine IX, it doesn't have a coax because they ran out of space with the old turret. They immediately fixed the issue on the X variant by implementing the redesigned turret made by the Canadians in the VI and VII variants, which had an armored glacis and a coax and could fit the 6-pdr with a loader. And the point of the valentine was just that it was cheap to produce. They were aware that the valentine was inferior as an infantry tank compared to the earlier Matilda II and the Churchill that they were cooking up already, but the valentine was cheaper than both so it got printed out. Eventually they were mostly being produced to be handed out to the soviets, which is why despite account for a quarter of all tanks produced by the British, was only used in the north Africa campaign by them, with the soviets, the Australians and the New Zealanders using them elsewhere for the rest of the war.
