The heavy turrets can only fire forwards, but this is no weakness as you will rarely "kite" with this ship.

This "however" is not one of those "howevers". You can compensate your lack of repairs by strafing up-down.

Cruisers and destroyers are a bit harder to deal with, but possible. Use your secondaries and go backwards every time the cruiser gets far. It will have to face you in order to come closer.

As the enemy ship classes go lower, lower go the Valor's defensive capabilities. Namely, she's quite weak against bombers. If you mount 3 flaks (flaks must cover 360°) needed for Nova deflecting, you'll have only 7 plain secondaries left. Combined with the Valor's huge size, it makes a rather easy target for bombers. | As the enemy ship classes go lower, lower go the Valor's defensive capabilities.
