Heavy tank effective against light vehicles and infantry. Strong frontal armor.
The Matilda II Heavy Tank is a UKF heavy tank. In skirmishes it is available from the
A behemoth of a vehicle, it has massively increased health and armour values compared to the vast majority of available UKF units. This makes it a literal tank that is content to fight head-on, able to soak up various attacks and help the entire army advance forward. To aid in frontline advances, it comes with the Infantry Support Smoke ability which leaves a trail of smoke behind the vehicle when active. Upon reaching veterancy level 1 it gains the passive Critical Repair, which allows it to remove immobilization states such as 'Engine Damaged' when out of combat.
Offensively, its main cannon is similar to the Crusader II but with weaker penetration. This means the Matilda is effective against infantry but overall struggles greatly against most armour, especially at long range. As such it will need support when it comes to fighting against enemy armour.
All this durability comes with a more expensive resource cost, as well as low mobility. The Matilda is very slow and thus prone to being out-flanked. Care must be taken to not overextend it as it can be difficult to pull out of a bad situation. Its low mobility also means it will rarely get the chance to flank enemy armour and hit around their frontal armour - that tactic should instead should be left to other units like the

Infantry Support Smoke: Active ability. When activated, constantly deploys smoke behind the vehicle for a short duration. During this time the smoke will still deploy even when moving, allowing the unit to create a trail of smoke as it moves. Useful to create a smokescreen for offensive or defensive purposes.

The Matilda's poor penetration especially at long range makes it ill-suited for fighting enemy armour, though it remains a good weapon against infantry and light vehicles.
