The Matilda II-CS Infantry Tank was the same in speed and armor as the
Matilda, but also carried a 3-inch howitzer. Its thick hide and well-
protected tracks made it virtually invulnerable to all but the German 88 anti-tank gun.
In fact, in North Africa the Matilda was dubbed "Queen of the Battlefield."
However, its lack of speed in desert terrain should be noted.
