Lets not kid ourselves, the basic firepower of the Queadluuns was far greater than Valkyries. In addition to its basic twin beam blasters, it had a missile payload that would make any Valkyrie pilot jealous. It also had two chest mounted cannons for medium-range engagements. In contrast, the Valkyries are often forced to balance just between short and long-range weaponry.

Sure, the VF-25s are supposedly much faster and agile, but Queadluuns have the firepower to compensate whatever shortcomings it might have. Besides, Alto fought Quran in a scenario that would have given the Queadluuns the most advantage. Its amazing how Alto put up a fight, nonetheless.
