Tank description:

The Matilda is a British tier 4 medium tank.Developed from 1936 through 1938. A total of 2987 vehicles were manufactured by August 1943. It was the only British tank to remain in service throughout World War II.Unlike its tier V brothers the premium Matilda IV, this tank is located a tier lower and carries the historical 2-pounder gun, so players used to the Soviet Matilda may judge this tank a bit unfairly, although, in reality, the British Matilda can penetrate even a tier VI heavy tank from most distances. Although the damage will be anemic the extremely fast reload time and excellent accuracy will cause your higher tier opponents to seek cover in preference to being punctured to death. However, the Damage Per Minute is more potent against similar tiered opponents and a death sentence against tier III''s. It is very easy to rack up a healthy number of kills in a Matilda for this reason. Players new to the Matilda will find this tank rather slow moving, and slightly difficult to maneuver in tight corridors. Its 24km/h top speed will negate any effort to keep up with any fast paced combat, but the Matilda is the most heavily armored Tier IV tank (although the AMX 40 is close and is better sloped), with only a similar armoring found on the tier V KV-1 heavy tank. It is very capable of hitting enemies from most distances without much trouble (with its top gun) and poses a difficult target for artillery due to its small silhouette.The Matilda leads to the Churchill I, and the Cavalier.
