Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

Valentine

Matilda

Churchill ICavalier

IV

140000

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 brother, 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 6 Heavy tank from most distances, and although the damage will be anemic, the extremely fast reload time and excellent accuracy will cause your opponents to seek cover in preference to being punctured to death.

Players new to the Matilda will find this tank very slow moving, and difficult to maneuver in tight corridors. Its 24km/h top speed will negate any effort to keep up any fast paced combat, but you should know that the Matilda is the most heavily armored Tier 4 tank, with only a similar armor can be found on the tier 5 KV-1 Heavy tank, and its comfortable with taking enemies from most distances without much trouble, and poses a difficult target for artillery, due its very small silhouette.

The Matilda leads to the Churchill I, and the Cavalier.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• High HP
• Best armor for its tier
• Excellent Gun penetration & accuracy
• Fast rotating turret
• Small Silhouette

Cons:

• Terrible Top speed
• Anemic gun damage
• Pitiful HE Gun

Performance

There are 2 ways to use this tank, 1 is to slowly but surely follow up the main frontal push taking opportunity shots with its excellent accuracy, or by guarding a set spot, as it can be difficult to coax out due its armor and low profile, being top of the tier list, the only ways to outclass a Matilda on a light tank is making it go into the open with numbers, as its fast rotating turret can keep up with tanks that try to outmaneuver it.

Experienced tankers may want to take advantage of the high accuracy-high penetration gun by equipping a EGLD and Either coated optics or Binoculars and finally a rammer or a Ventilation system as it turns the Matilda into a deadly "Machinegun" that can shred most tanks with relative ease.

Early Research

-Equipping the Quick Fire 2 Pounder gun is a priority, as it gives the matilda the much needed penetration, accuracy and reload Boost it needs

-Research and equip the Suspension

-Research and equip the Second Turret

-Research and equip the Engine

-Save radios for last, as its low speed wont get you very far from your allies often
