The Valentine AT is a British tier 4 tank destroyer.
This experimental tank destroyer had the gun mounted in the middle of the hull behind a gun shield. A prototype was built, but work on the vehicle was discontinued when a new tank destroyer was developed, based on the Valentine and mounting the powerful 17-pounder.
The Valentine AT is a tank with good hull armor and offers two different play styles. It has a great gun traverse arc and offers very powerful guns. It can either be a deadly sniper when equipped with the accurate and high-penetrating 6-pdr, or a close combat brawler capable of destroying Tier 4 vehicles with a single shot when equipped with the huge 3.7-inch howitzer. The Valentine AT is significantly slower and larger than its predecessor but compensates with improved armor.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Decent hull armor
- Offers an accurate and fast-firing 6-pdr gun
- Can be fitted with a very powerful 3.7-inch howitzer
- Wide gun traverse arc
Cons:
- Paper gunshield
- Has only half the top speed of the previous TD
- Open roof means a hit by an SPG results in almost certain death
- Side armour contains ammo rack, like most British TDs
Performance
Despite having 60 mm frontal armour, the armour is often not enough to bounce shots reliably. The gun shield is only 14 mm thick, which can be a liability. If the 6 pounder is mounted, take advantage of its high rate of fire and snipe the enemy. If the howitzer is mounted, certain open top tanks of tier 3 can be one-shotted. Remember to hide behind hard cover as SPGs can one shot this tank.
Early Research
- It is recommended to research the radios at first, in order to have radio contact to support your team.
- Tracks should be researched to increase load weight.
- Engines should only be researched now, as even 30 additional horsepower adds little visible difference.
- The second 6pdr cannon is the most direct path to the Alecto, and provides the same firing rate with much needed penetration.
- The howitzer provides much less penetration but can, with the extreme increase of damage, repel most tanks with one hit, effective when covering a small alley or path, however, the shot fired from the howitzer curves upwards before making contact.
