In World Of Tanks, developers sometimes release game events with unique special game modes. And one of these modes is “Steel Hunter”. Players have the opportunity to fight on rare and special tanks, which are intended only for the “Steel Hunter” mode. Uniqueness is not only tanks, but also the gameplay itself.
In the Steel Hunter game event, players can fight other players. And in the process of game combat, pump your war horse, that is, a tank. To pump modules for a tank, you need to collect supplies and cargo dropped from a cargo plane on the territory, which can be located in different parts of the map. And also deal damage to enemies and collect trophies from them.
Each tank in Steel Hunter has its own special qualities and advantages on the battlefield. At the same time, the type of tank and its nationality affect the style of the game. Important points in the victory are pumpable modules, they can change the tactics of combat. To survive and get into the top three fighters, you will have to study the strengths and weaknesses of the existing tanks.
About the features of the Valkyrie tank in the game World Of Tanks.
Valkyrie is a heavy tank of German industry, which is very impressive and significantly distinguished itself in comparison with other tanks. The Valkyrie takes on the role of survival on the battlefield more than active combat. This is due to the mobile characteristics and technical characteristics, where the Valkyrie has one of the lowest armor penetration rates.
Disadvantages of the Valkyrie tank in World of Tanks.
The Valkyrie tank has many shortcomings that are difficult to implement with priority and reach the top three. Firstly, the tank has weak armament for armor penetration and low reload time. Secondly, the lowest mobility in Steel Hunter. And here it is difficult to say which of the shortcomings is the main one, probably both at once.
Mobility.
Since the speed and mobility in the “Steel Hunter” allows you to survive and quickly gain the level of the tank. Well, a gun can make it possible to shoot on the cheeks or assholes. In short, the Valkyrie is difficult to pump, stay on the battlefield and throw at enemies. If you manage to reach the top players and by that time have a level 7 weapon, then this is a rarity and the player is very experienced.
Due to the low mobility of the Valkyrie, they quickly catch up and spin well. They often shoot at the sides and ass. The best thing is to be in the middle of some terrain and not climb into the plains. In the fields of the Valkyrie, it is difficult to fight off enemy attacks.
Ammunition at the initial stage of the game.
The third drawback is the ammunition load, which is very scarce at the initial stage of the game, only 8 shells of each type. There is probably little said here that there are few shells, there are very few of them. Since the penetration of the initial gun is only 100 mm of enemy armor. Because of this, a regular projectile loses its meaning of being used to attack enemy medium and heavy tanks. That is, to shoot and pierce, in most cases, you can light tanks.
Considering the penetration moment, improved shells work more at the start. Of course, depending on the situation, you can have time to change the type of projectile. In this case, the enemy will have a small priority on the first attack. Well, and, it should be noted that you can’t wind the Valkyrie with a tower in order to have time to notice the approaching enemy while the radar is being restored.
Review.
The review of the Valkyrie has a low figure, only 290 meters. Maybe the distance is good, but does not always notice enemy tanks. In some cases, the enemy tanks will attack first and the Valkyrie can’t even see them yet. With the help of a radar, he sees, but there is no standard review. The Valkyrie’s vision does not always see light and medium enemy tanks. Perhaps this may still be due to the slow rotation of the tower, somewhere they may have time to change position.
Capabilities.
It’s hard to say if the abilities are a priority or a disadvantage, but they further emphasize the role of the Valkyrie. That is, survival on the battlefield and sometimes you can turn on the “Hare” to escape with the help of “Fast and the Furious”. And even the Fast and the Furious ability can be useless, since the tank can simply roll over.
The positive aspects and strengths of the Valkyrie in the game World of Tanks.
One of the main good features of the Valkyrie is a good amount of durability points. There can be a lot of strength around 3000 units, this is one of the best indicators. Thanks to this, you can hold out longer on the battlefield, but enemy tanks can also have good weapons installed by this time.
The second positive thing is the weapon, or rather one-time damage, at the level of 340 units and 490 units for the second gun. But, again, you won’t shoot much, since the reload speed is low and the ammunition load is small at the beginning. At level 7, one-time damage is higher from 375 to 765 points per shot, depending on the weapon. At the same time, the reload speed is already almost the same as that of the opponents, but not the best.
The abilities of the Valkyrie tank, in the game World of Tanks.
Fast and furious.
After using the “Forcing” ability, the dynamic technical characteristics of the tank are increased for 15 seconds. On the battlefield, it is used to leave the danger zone to catch up with the enemy, to ram an enemy tank, or quickly retreat to a safe place. The preparation time is 45 seconds.
In most cases, the ability is in an inactive state, since it does not make sense to use it. And even if a defeat can happen when using the Fast and the Furious ability, due to the fact that the tank can simply roll over. In general, “Forsage” helps out when you need to quickly get out of the danger zone and if you know how to control the tank.
Remzone.
The Repair Zone ability allows the Valkyrie to regenerate HP over 14 seconds. After activation, a zone appears around the Valkyrie tank, where you can repair modules, remove the stun and restore durability. The repair zone is not attached to the tank and works only in the place where the activation occurred.
Additional tank repairs are always good, even if the tank has a lot of hit points. One of the drawbacks is the fact that the tank is repaired only at the point of activation, and not while in motion. If you leave the zone, the tank stops recovering and you will have to drive back into the zone.
It is effective to use when there is a head-on collision with another enemy tank. In this case, the Valkyrie’s survival rate increases markedly. Or you can just stop in a safe place and calmly use the “Repair Zone” to restore durability. It is advisable to use it in collisions with another enemy tank.
Pumping the Valkyrie tank, in the game World of Tanks.
You must immediately take into account the weaknesses of the Valkyrie and build on the surrounding area. The fact is that the tank needs to be pumped and it is desirable to pump it faster than opponents, otherwise defeat is likely. The pumping speed is affected by the collection of supplies and the successful damage to enemy tanks.
Gathering primates requires good speed and mobility, and successful damage requires a good weapon. Valkyrie has both of these moments rather weak. Therefore, in early battles with enemy tanks, DM7 42 sub-caliber shells are most often used.
It is advisable to start collecting primates that replenish the combat kit. After supplies with shells, you can collect green ones, which give repair kits. In this case, it is better not to engage in a firefight and not to waste shells, since the combat kit is very small. In addition, it is not a fact that the next supplies will be with shells.
The second level, the engine, in the game World of Tanks.
For the Valkyrie tank, the engine is already available at the second level. Thanks to this, you can speed up the gathering of supplies, so it is important to make the right choice. It is advisable to build on the available terrain and maps.
Available in two packages:
Dynamics, DB 603F.
Increases the power of the tank to 2000 horsepower and increases the speed to 40 kilometers per hour. Suitable for heavy armor, but even then the tank will be slow and with low mobility. It is advisable to pump in urban areas and choose straight sections of the territory. That is, do not climb into the mountains and on the open part of the map.
Module “Maximum speed”, the second level.
After installation, the tank gets 1350 horsepower and 50 kilometers per hour. The power of this engine is not very good for a Valkyrie. The effect of the lack of speed can already be felt from level 4-5, where you have to choose a weapon and armor.
When installing the “Maximum Speed” module, you need to start from the map and the terrain. If the map is open and with a small number of buildings, then it is advisable to install the “Maximum Speed” module. In this case, already in the early stages of the game, the Valkyrie is easier and faster to pump.
Module “Radar”, the third level, in the game World of Tanks.
In terms of radar, there is not much difference and what to choose. You can decide on your preference. We recommend the one that allows you to explore the territory more often. So you can at least somehow focus on the battlefield and you need to choose the direction of movement earlier.
Module “weapon”, the fourth level, in the game World of Tanks.
Reload speed.
After pumping “Reload speed”, the tank gets the ability to penetrate the armor of 130 millimeters with a cumulative projectile and deal 340 damage. A sub-caliber projectile can penetrate 170 mm armor and deal 240 damage. The reload speed is 8.57 rounds per minute, which is quite normal for a heavy tank.
It is advisable to opt for the “Reload Speed” module. Since in this case it is more likely to cause damage and scare off enemy tanks. Even so, the reload speed is not very good. Nevertheless, it makes it possible to forgive a miss or not breaking through the armor.
One-time damage.
Allows you to break through the tighter armor thickness of 130 and 170 millimeters. but with more damage. A cumulative projectile deals one-time damage of 490 units. A sub-caliber projectile can bite off 345 hitpoints. Damage at level 4 is impressive, but the weapon is not the most comfortable.
The rate of fire of the gun is 6 rounds per minute. During this time, the enemy tank can have time to leave the collision to a safe place. At a long distance, the gun shows poor results, the aiming speed is 3 seconds. Given these points, the “one-time damage” module is suitable for playing in close combat.
We do not recommend pumping “One-time damage”, as it turns out that each shot is worth its weight in gold. The tank has a small combat reserve, because of this, you need to try to ensure that all shells hit the enemy. At the same time, with a low reload speed, it is dangerous to let the enemy in on light and medium tanks, they can spin.
The hull of the Valkyrie tank, level 5, in the World of Tanks game.
Valkyrie, with good pumping, can have the largest number of durability points. At the same time, the reservation is also in a worthy place. It is advisable to push off from the terrain, as in this case you can increase the survival rate on the battlefield.
Booking module.
The Valkyrie tank becomes the owner of a good frontal armor of 170 millimeters. The armor in the sides will be 150 millimeters, but even such armor can be penetrated by enemy tanks. Increases the number of points of durability by 800 units. To all this is added the mass of the tank at 68320 kilograms, which significantly affects maneuverability.
Good booking is desirable to install on city maps. Since there are places where you can hide the board or asshole. In addition, there are few places with mountains on such maps, you can be in the same plane. Speed and mobility will be noticeably lower, but in the city these moments can be compensated by good frontal armor.
Module “Margin of Safety”.
The “Margin of Safety” module makes it possible to significantly increase durability points by 1200 units. But the thickness of the armor will be 100 millimeters in the forehead and sides. That is, almost without armor, but minimally reduces mobility. The weight of the module will be 50820 kilograms.
You can install it on any maps, but preferably on maps with open areas. Since mobility, at least some will be available. However, the tank will still spin and shoot at the sides. As for urban areas, there may not be a big effect, it all depends on the experience of the player.
Tower of the Valkyrie tank, in the game World of Tanks.
As for the tower, everything is the same as in terms of choosing a hull, it all depends on the map. But you can experiment and put different towers on different buildings. At the same time, the further installed weapon at level 7 will depend on the choice of the tower.
Tower module “Booking”.
The tower has 255 millimeters of frontal armor and 150 millimeters on the sides, the strength is increased by 400 units. overview of the tower is 310 meters, and the weight is 29280 kilograms. The armor is very good, but fully reveals itself in urban environments. Another important point is the review, 310 meters, does not work well in open areas and plains. Therefore, a tower for urban conditions.
Module “Margin of Safety”.
The turret has 140 armor on the front and 120 on the sides, which is not a lot. Durability is increased by 500 units. The view of the tower is 330 meters and is better suited for open areas. At the same time, the weight of the tower is less, it is 21780 kilograms, due to this it reduces the mobility of the tank less.
A weapon at level 7, in the game World of Tanks.
Like all other tanks, at level 7 you can choose one of three types of guns. It all depends on which tower was installed at level 6. As well as terrain maps, guns with good aiming speed and low dispersion are suitable for open areas.
Shop loading.
This is probably strange, but the Valkyrie has guns with a 4-round drum. I must say that this gun is not very popular, because of the long reloading of the drum. The cooldown of the entire drum is 16 seconds. One-time damage by the base projectile is 375 units.
Reload speed.
The rate of fire of the gun is 7.5 rounds per minute. Allows you to penetrate armor 230 millimeters and deal damage with a base projectile of 515 HP. The dispersion per 100 meters is only 0.36 units. Mixing time is only 2.1 seconds. The indicators are quite good for a tank of this class. The gun is comfortable to use on different maps, urban and open areas. Perhaps one of the most popular weapons of the Valkyrie.
One-time damage.
The disadvantage of the gun is the low rate of shots, 4.62 rounds per minute. And not very good mixing of the guns, 2.7 seconds. The one-time damage of the base projectile is 765 units, which makes it one of the highest with penetration of 230 millimeters of armor.
A weapon with “one-shot damage” is suitable for urban areas and for very experienced players. Since misses and non-arrivals can bring you closer to defeat. At the same time, the gun allows itself to be positively shown at very close distances. On non-city maps, it is very difficult to fight.
Conclusion on the Valkyrie tank, in the game World of Tanks.
As it was written above, the Valkyrie is a tank for survival. Suitable for very experienced players and those who do not like mobility. At the beginning of the game, you already face various problems, such as finding supplies and choosing a safe move. If at the beginning of the game there are no free supplies in front of the Valkyrie. And you have to travel far to the first and second supplies, then most likely defeat is likely in the future.
By the time Valkyrie reaches level 3, the enemy tanks are already at level 4. Faced with such tanks, it becomes difficult to break through the armor, because of this, you have to use sub-caliber shells. And the Valkyrie has few shells and cannot spin enemy tanks.
But, if the Valkyrie manages to pump through suitable armor, then it is quite possible that she will be able to repulse most enemy tanks. And again, it all depends on the experience of the player and the circumstances on the battlefield.
