History: The Valentine was a British infantry tank produced during the Second World War. Based on the Cruiser Mk II tank, the Valentine was designed by the Vickers-Armstrong Company and proposed to the Ministry of War in February 1938. Its designers had tried to combine the weight of a Cruiser tank (so as to be able to reuse the suspensions and transmission elements) with the armour of an infantry tank, which produced a small vehicle with a cramped interior and a turret served by two men. Although its engine is weaker than that of the Matilda tank, because of its lighter armour it had the same top speed and was much easier and cheaper to produce.
