{{TankData|Tank=GB68_Matilda_Black_Prince
|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 22km/h, you wont be able to keep up with the pace of fast battles, but you can make an exceptional defender, sniper and ambusher.

|InTheGame_pros=
* Armor is better than it appears thanks to heavy angles and a large internal gun mantlet
* High rate of fire
* Relatively low profile
* Excellent APCR penetration at close range
* Above average HP
* Good gun depression
* Has preferential match maker (T5 and T6 only)
* Side skirts have thin spaced armor

|InTheGame_cons=
* Agonizingly slow, with poor power to weight ratio. Crawls uphill
* Low damage and penetration
* Very high loss of APCR penetration at range, only goes through 126mm at 400m
* Small ammo capacity
* Mediocre accuracy
* Poor aiming time, gun reloads faster than it can aim
* Largely inferior to the [[T-25]] and [[Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai]], yet costs more gold
* Inferior to a regular [[Matilda]] in almost every aspect

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, the MBP strangely weighs a whopping 30 tons compared to the tier IV Matilda's 26 tons.

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. Do not fire at long-range targets as the 6-pdr gun has very poor accuracy.

Avoid climbing hills or crossing rivers, stay on paved ground whenever possible. Its abysmal speed makes it a horrible tank for flanking maneuvers. This often results in the Matilda BP falling far behind the team's advance. Its only option is to take the shortest route to the enemy, supporting teammates along the way. Do not advance without heavy tanks. It is ill-advised to treat the MBP as a heavy tank as its armament, armor and speed are far too weak for that.

Besides the tier IV Matilda, the MBP is not suitable for training British medium tank crews as its playstyle is much too different. The lack of a radio operator position further diminishes its effectiveness as a crew trainer. Its crew layout is only compatible with high tier British medium tanks like the [[Centurion Mk. I]]. However, the loader will be unable to use radio operator skills.

|History=
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.
