Don't listen to the haters, the Vityaz is a great and verstile machine for players who've mastered more than the basics. It has a firepower edge on the Boa (the light/medium weapon distinction is arbitrary, you have the same heavy weapon as the Boa plus two guns vs one or two Pinata's vs 1 gun/1 rocket while also being able to run circles around it at lower/mid levels). It has a noticible edge on speed with the Golem which gives you the important advantage of being able to choose when you enter battle and once in it when to engage/disengage or duck behind cover. It also has more HP than a Golem so if you can aim well and make your shots count the advantages the Golem has can be negated, that is unless you're getting into a gun duelling battle where the Golem simply has a higher volume of fire and you'll lose. The Vityaz is also an excellent sniper when outfitted with a Zeus and Spirals, which if you want to battle from range will net you a lot more kills then sitting at your spawn reigning Noricums and heavy weapons down on your enemies - there's a reason that in the real world modern artillery is based around firing and moving not static battery fire.

The final measure: The Vityaz is not merely a good all around bot with a lot of flexibility for different styles of play, it's a true finisher that will net you a lot of silver and max gold: It can move in quick, reign a good volume of fire down and quickly move onto the next target, letting you mop up for the heavies who can deal a lot of damage but often lose out for not finishing their kills quickly enough (points). It is also fast enough to cap flags and chase down/outgun light robots who are trying to do the same.
