Re: Matilda as an infantry tank
Hi Za Rodinu,
You`ve missed my point and you`ve listed both early war and late war vehicles, the centurion was only trialed in 1945 and didn`t see action till Korea.
Tetrarch (airborne tank) was only used at Op Varsity.
After Market Garden,seeing the need to support Para`s when engaging German Armour.
The Infantry tanks were for a different tactics of infantry assault, whilst the faster cruiser tanks were used as cavalry to spearhead attacks.
The Mathilda Mkone, Mktwo and Barons were ideal for support but couldn`t take on a tiger tank as this was for the sherman fireflys and comets to deal with.
