The Matilda Black Prince is a British tier 5 premium medium tank.
This vehicle features a 6-pounder gun fitted in the A27 turret. Only one prototype was produced, after which development was discontinued due to complications with the turret mounting. The vehicle never entered service.
The Black Prince is an effective, if unexceptional, tier V medium. It has lower armor than the Churchill I, but a better profile and a more accurate gun. It is best used in the second line, as your fast rate of fire and quick turning turret will make short work of flankers and scouts. It is always best to aim for weak spots when using this tank as even some lower tier tanks may bounce shots you'll think are certain to penetrate. Since its top speed is barely 24km/h, you wont be able to keep up with the pace of fast battles, but you can make an exceptional defender, sniper and ambusher.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Armor is better than it appears thanks to heavy angles and a large internal gun mantlet
- High rate of fire
- Relatively low profile
- Above average HP
- Good gun depression
Cons:
- Agonizingly slow, with poor power to weight ratio. Crawls uphill
- Low damage and penetration
- Small ammo capacity
- Mediocre accuracy
- Poor aiming time, gun reloads faster than it can aim
Performance
Compared to a fully upgraded Matilda armed with the QF 2-pdr Mk. X-B gun, the Matilda Black Prince (commonly abbreviated as MBP) has better gun depression, damage, hit points, signal range, view range and credit income. However, it is a tier higher, has poorer hull traverse, turret armor, ammo capacity, penetration, accuracy, aim time, rate of fire and speed (despite the lighter turret).
Take it slow, pick your targets, and watch your ammo. With around 30 shots a minute and only 55 spare, you'll run dry quick if you don't make your shells count. It is better to wait until you are fully aimed before firing, so try to avoid the Churchill tactic of slinging shells at your target knowing you'll hit eventually.
As strange as it might sound, the real WWII Matilda II version named Black Prince was in fact a unarmed and remote-controlled version meant to draw fire and trick enemy AT guns into revealing their positions.
