General info
Survivability and armour
Armour type:
- Cast homogeneous armour (hull front, turret, gun mantlet, cupola, hull sides top -above the tracks-)
- Rolled homogeneous armour (hull sides bottom -tracks compartment-, hull rear, hull roof, turret roof, cupola roof, gun breech, side skirts).
| Armour | Front (Slope angle) | Sides | Rear | Roof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hull | 75 mm (0-7°) Front plate 22-47 mm (69°) Front glacis 22-78 mm (12-46°) Joint area 22-45 mm (56°) Lower glacis |
70 mm (21-26°) Top 40vmm + 25 mm Bottom |
20 mm (32-79°) Top 55 mm (25°) Bottom |
20 mm 35 mm Driver's port |
| Turret | 75 mm (1-48°) Turret front 75 mm (0-22°) Gun mantlet |
75 mm (0-22°) | 75 mm | 18 mm |
| Cupola | 75 mm (6-7°) Cupola wall + 50mm Cupola base | 18 mm | ||
Notes:
- Suspension wheels and tracks are both 20 mm thick.
- Openings in the center area of side skirts are 13 mm thick (54°).
- The gun breech is very prominent and only 45mm thick, making it a weak spot.

Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Machine guns
Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

History
Britain and Canada provided the Soviet Union with around 5,200 tanks, of which 4,600 arrived, while they were recovering from the setbacks of 1941. The Soviets belittled these lend-lease AFVs, and tended to use them on secondary fronts, releasing their own tanks for the more important areas. While the Matilda II was the second-most-common British tank used by the Soviets, with over 1,000 delivered, it was disliked for its slow speed and poor winter performance and used primarily for infantry support. The remaining tanks were out of service by the end of 1943.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
