Another fun fact about the Matilda II is that 25 were fitted with the first mine flails and called the Matilda Scorpions. They kicked up a huge amount of dust which kept them hidden from the german 88 gunners (plus drowning the crew in sand). But I'm more interested in the fact is they took a 25 ton tank that only had at most 200hp and added MORE WEIGHT, plus the flail control box would cook the operator like a potato.

Added to "Translation Difficulty" pool due to the absurdly small text in multiple areas.

Old Maid was quite a hardy tank though. I myself found its ability to shrug off the early tank gun rounds like it was fairly nothing to be quite absurd. Hell, the Axis cruiser tanks needed to get up close and personal just to punch a hole through her.

One stubborn gal.

I have to agree. However, since its gun was useless against soft targets (no HE shell, at least not reliable enough), a lucky shot at the tracks could stop her, and in some rare instances it did.

We get it that with your bloody Matildas you wiped the floor with the CVs. Move on, please...
