Hello NateD
Matilda's are certinly tough tanks. I recall hoew frustrated they made me in testing some scenarioes for MCNA. I basicly evolved the tactic of pounding them with aritllery, smoking them to block LOS and then bypassing them, if they where not actually stopping me from acheiving the mission objective. Otherwize they just toast too many of your vehicles while you try to assult them.
There is a humorous reply I did several months ago on the same subject, with respect to my experience as playing both the British and Germans in North Africa.
To summerise Matilda's
German Point of view: Indestructable, 2lbdr gun always hits, always kills what it hits, only an 88 has a chance of stopping this rampaging monster.
British pont of view: Slow, Can't hit the side of a barn door at 100 paces, the dinky 2lbdr gun can only kill halftracks and lt armoured cars. Fortunately it appears to be immune to 37mm AP, but 50mm AP can kill it.
