- today we are going to talk one of the most iconic British tanks who’ve served during the 2nd world war, its name is the Matilda II or Matilda Senior, but before we start this video I’d like to set a optimistic goal of 500 subscribers at the end of the month,The Matilda II was designed back in 1936 and by 1939 they had 2 tanks ready for combat, the production went on until 1943, in total there were just under 3.000 Produced by mainly the Vulcan foundry and others,

I have never heard or read of the Matilda 2 being referred to as Matilda senior.
Your channel got recommended to me today (the jagdpanther video) and must say that the videos have good quality especially for someone who just started with youtube. Of course there’s always room for improvement but if you keep it like you’re doing it right now I think you’re doing not much wrong.
Thanks man really appreciate it
I got some harsh but fair critism when i uploaded it today so i decided to tweak the video a bit, i hope you guys enjoy the video!
Please consider liking and subscribing and i'll see y'all in the next video!🙌
Australia used them in the pacific as an IFV. Saved a lot of lives
great video, keep 'm coming!
Great video👍
Thanks man appreciate it!
500 Subs guys let's go! You guys rock!❤
Congatulations ! Hope you don't spend all the money on prostitutes and drugs ! 🙂
@@ottovonbismarck2443 500 more and i will! 😂
2:51 would like to add that the HE rounds weren't effective at all, i forgot to mention that😅
It really needed a short-barreled 75mm, like the early Panzer IV.
As with many other early British tanks there was a CS (close support) version with a 3" howitzer in the turret instead of the 2 pdr. Sadly they only used it for firing smoke !
Only tank to be deployed in every theatre of WWII
Yeah it is insane to think about it tbh
i hate to ruin your day, but the sherman also served in every theater, along with the m3 lee if im not mistaken
@@ntech1907 i think the middle east is its own theatre (egypt included)
@@ntech1907 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theater_(warfare) and then go to 'america' i believe there is a picture showing you the theatres
@@LearningHistoryTogether got it thank you
Mathilda II didn't influence development of Tiger or Panther ! These programs started in 1938 already. Mathilda together with Char B and Somua S-35 led to the immediate upgrade of Panzer III to the 5cm gun L42 after the French campaign, a program which was supposed to happen before that campaign, but for various reasons didn't.
Well it wasn't really the matilda influencing the Panther/Tiger but it was more Hitler influencing it
"Because he was amazed of seeing how effective their thick armour was"
@@LearningHistoryTogether He wasn't wrong ! Both tanks have their good reputation for their armor and guns. However he had not as much influence as you might think. German aquisitioning processes were very clearly outlined.
One has to get rid of the idea that Hitler was an allout idiot ! Idiots didn't get to the top these days. He was many things, but until 1942 he was relatively clear minded and his few (!) interventions on tank development made perfect sense. He lost it mentally after Stalingrad.
Check out "The Chieftain" channel here on YT. He gives a really good insight on Tiger development and Hitler's influence on it.
@@ottovonbismarck2443 when did i say hitler was stupid?
@@LearningHistoryTogether You didn't ! I wasn't pointing at you, it was a general assessment. I'll edit my post accordingly. 🙂
Australians well take it
Try making a war thunder playlist
Wdym?
The USSR developed the T34 & KV tanks at the time Great Britain the Matilda.
And they would not have fitted on UK railways so would have never have been developed in pre-war UK
Plus USSR was ALLIED with the Nazi's at the time, and STILL got knocked all the way back to Stalingrad in 1941
Iai
Churchill is the best. Thicccc'er than all the rest!
Vi-Vii 152mm of raw armour on the hull
I-V 102mm🤤
This tank was bit slow and outclassed.Was used extensively in North Africa.
It was an infantry tank, so speed wasn't a factor in its specifications. Not the tank's fault that it got caught in the racing that North Africa was for many parts. They did sterling service in the Far East until the end of the war. Every tank is outclassed at some point. Panzer III and IV were also outclassed at some point. The question is: do you have something better at hand to replace it ? In Mathilda's case, M3 Grant and Valentine became available.
The gun was absolute capable of killing any axis tank it met in its time. It lacked HE capability, which is in my opinion the most important thing for an infantry tank.
Until the Centurion, British tanks were ugly horrendous looking hulks...Guess thats why British cars were so ugly for so long, the overall engineering and design mindset...I do like the driver and machine gunner sort of protected by setting behind the tracks on the Matilda and Churchills.
Tbh the matilda did the job early on in the war, but yeah they were pretty ugly😂
Sir, the Mathilda II is an absolute beauty and a killer and I demand satisfaction in World of Tanks any time ! 🙂
Ugly British cars ? Bentley ? Jaguar ? Aston Martin ? MG ? TBH, that's the exception from the rule; British cars were ugly as hell until "we" took over ... 🙂
@@LearningHistoryTogether And you, kid, are to young to judge ! 🙂
@@ottovonbismarck2443 i mean i do disagree witb the cars part, but tbh the matilda is 't really a beauty imo😅
I love oldtimers (cars) we got 2 german beetles from the 1970 and my personal dream car would be the Mustamg 1969 :p
@@ottovonbismarck2443 Hallo from Texas Chancellor! From the top to the bottom of Central Europe, Scandinavia to Southern Italy, this is where European Beauty lies, in the heart of the Motherland we call Europe! When it comes to cars, Germany and Italy get the nod worldwide!
A lot of Matildas were immobilized by german infantrymen simply outwalking them..
Great armor and weak gun
Great Armour and weak gun but acceptable for that time
