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.

Valkyrie is a heavy tank of German industry, which is very impressive and significantly distinguished itself in comparison with other tanks. It seems like a heavy tank and should be capable of a lot, but there are a few, but. The Valkyrie takes on the role of survival on the battlefield more than active combat.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

Do not be upset if you did not immediately manage to get the amount of supplies you need to go to the second level. Yes, the main thing is to have time to get a good engine in order to speed up the pumping of the tank. In this case, it is advisable to stay close to fences, buildings and mountains, so that in the event of a collision with an enemy tank, you can hold out longer. It is important not to drive into the center of the map in an open area.
