Agree, pity about the robotech voice and abbreviatons"Rommel backlash es immaginative"! around the 7 minute mark. Pity also about the continued use of Valentine, Covenentor and A11 footage. Don't these people check the footage first. Sometimes you have to give up listening. Didn't mention the Russian use, even though they showed film of them....poor show.
The Matilda II was NOT a development of the Matilda I just in case some here thought that it was. The wheels at 1:50 and 3:11 are those on a Valentine. The two biggest disadvantages of the Matilda II tanks were its slow speed and its small gun. It also lacked a high explosive shell most of the time and thus could not clear infantry or anti-tank emplacements. The small gun was a major handicap for many British tanks.
Small gun? It was a 40mm which at the time could penetrate ALL German armour in 1940. Admittedly the HE round wasn't issued to tank regiments but it was a weak round anyway. To put it in context, the best anti tank gun the Germans had was the 37mm. The Matilda mk II was impervious to it. Not only thick armour, but spaced at the front. The only round the Germans had that could penetrate it's armour was the 8cm flak.
@@howardchambers9679 about that time Germans moved to equip Type III with 5.5 cm KwK and contemplated 7.5 cm. And small caliber sabot while penetrating armor sometimes didn't do much else.
You forgot that the Aussie sused the Matilda in New Guinea, gun versions and Flame thowers as shown by your photos. They lasted until the end of the Pacific war. I knew a man who was a driver in N.G. Bloody hot but the Japs couldn't strop them
OK every technical statement required explanation. eg Double decker engine sharing same shaft? Whoa. Now I am typing this I am the one who needs to look up wikipedia
Just food for the 8.8 cm Flak german gun. They were able to hit this tank - and the guys inside had no chance to fight back (because there is to much distance). A fact.......not an opinion.
Wow the "Mark Eye" with a 1.85 "IN" gun. Teach your reader software how to read English abreviations or the community will never take you're videos seriously.
Just read the dang thing yourself. What's the fascination with ai readers? These seem like great videos, but the computer reading makes me move on and not sub.
I think you would be better off doing your own voice over. Personally I find the accent and pronounciation a bit off putting, particularly say in for inches when it is written in text as in, and mark I instead of mark one.
@@howardchambers9679 Yeah right, the Matilda was already obsolete when it rolled its raggedy ass off the assembly line just like the Cromwell annnd Churchill was. BAHahahaha
@@tasjan9190 Get your history from Marvel comics? Better than your "Ronsons" in which caught fire when a German farted in their direction.And the Russians preferred the Matildas they got to the Sherman's. Jerk.
@@tasjan9190 it's so refreshing to find someone completely oblivious to the utter shite that falls out of their idiot mouths. I suppose you think the Tiger 1 was around in 1940? The only gun that could pen a Matilda II was the 88mm flak. That's an anti aircraft gun. It wasn't fitted to a tank. Instead of talking out of your fundament, go Google it.
If you're going to use text to speech then at least don't give it abbreviations.
You need to be precise - pedantic, actually - in the editing. Matilda I should read Matilda One.
Great subject, realshame about the automated speech skewing or making errors to a good text
Computer voices, don't you love them. Completely ruins what might have been an excellent video. I bailed after a minute or so.

What's with the descriptive blurb not being about the Matilda tank?
That`s a good one (:-))

Your correct. My father was a gunner in Matilta's.
The 3 IN gun... The way it says "in" instead of inch hahaha dumb AI
you are correct.
'
........."against the Panzer AIIIIE - AIIIIE - AIIIIE 'S'
Or as you or I , we humans would say...... "Panzer Threes" Hahahhahaaaaa (Bloody Robots !_
Completely ruined by the robot voice over
Ughh the robo voice docs just do not cut it for me
Just needed 105 howitzer! It could knock out Panzer from explosion alone and not need to penatrate armor .
You're describing the fictional "fatpard" VK 16.02 with 105 mm
The "Mark Eye"!?? Bloody autotext. It the Mark ONE not Mark Eye
I was waiting for the Mk Eye-Vee...!!
Mark eye, lol.
OK every technical statement required explanation. eg Double decker engine sharing same shaft? Whoa. Now I am typing this I am the one who needs to look up wikipedia
"The TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system is intended for direct fire support of advancing infantry ...."
WTF???

They were still good enough to see off any German tank of the time. A fact……not an opinion.

It never three tenned Germany.
Not helped by the robot voice, the many statistics hard to take in from the narration, would have helped to display them on screen.
I do know this. The mark 1 was called Matilda as it looked like a duck. it does

Computer Ai voice. Good Ai, but artificial.
The MK i? Its the Roman numeral I as in 1. AI Voice overs suck.
Why show Aussie Matildas with no comment? Very devaluing of the whole post. Not to mention a captured Matillda (at least twice) flying the nazi flag.
Terrible commentary,
Awful "speechelooooow" voice over
You need a new script writer. This was a torture to listen to.
Haha yeah right! Germany Panzers smoked those rust buckets.
Is that sarcasm? The 40mm on the Matilda II could penetrate all German tanks in 1940 whilst being impenetrable to their 37mm anti tank shells.
