Matilda – kraljica pustinje Zadatak za projekt lakog tenka koji bi služio potpori pješadije, dobio je 1935. godine, sir John Carden, koji je bio vođa razvoja u tvornici Vickers-Armstrong. Skupa sa pukovnikom M.A.Studdom, vođom odjela za mehanizaciju u vojnom kabinetu, pripremili su ideju za mali tenk, sa dva člana posade, naoružan mitraljezom. Prototip je bio gotov u šest mjeseci i bio je jeftin. Dobio je oznaku A11 kodnog imena „Matilda“. Pokusni prototip nosio je oznaku A11E1. Motor koji je pogonio ovaj prototip bio je Ford V8 sa 70 KS, težine oko 11t, brzine 10km/h. Sa dosta inovacija tenk se počeo proizvodit pod oznakom HMH788(T3433). Tenkovi su imali dvodjelni poklopac kupole, mali motorni prostor (mogao se je otvorit samo sa unutarnje strane), tenkovi su dobili dva bočna sanduka za opremu posade… 1938. godine vojska je naručila 60 kom ovakvih tenkova, te kasnije još 60kom, te tako naoružala dva bataljona. Kasnije su došle nove verzije (posada 3 člana Matilda A-12, jači top, kupola i oklop)…. -Prototip A11E1 prethodnik Matilde davao je utisak da je konstruktorima nestalo čelika… [attachment=1] -Prvi produkcijski model A11, na kojem je bilo jako malo vojničkog, još manje „kraljevskog“… [attachment=2] Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: duje on September 08, 2015, 08:38:45 am -Prototip matilde A12E1 sa šest otvora na bokovima, tenk je koštao 1937.godine 30.000 funti

Svi ostali tenkovi su bili nemoćni protiv nje, a zbog toga je i dobila taj nadimak od svojih posada. Početkom 1943. godine je više i nije bilo u prvoj liniji, sem par komada prerađenih u specijalna vozila.

Ipak mislim da bi postigli neki efekt zasleplivanjem.

[attachment=1] Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: Dreadnought on April 27, 2019, 12:44:56 pm Quote The name Matilda means Strength in Battle from the Germanic roots Maht, meaning strong and Hild meaning battle. The Matilda was regarded as a superb tank in its day and carved a remarkable career for itself. A few served in France in 1940 but in the early stages of the North African campaign, under General Wavell, it virtually ruled the desert. Even when the Afrika Korps arrived it remained a formidable opponent, immune to everything but the notorious 88mm gun. Its main failings were its slow speed and small gun, which could not be improved. https://youtu.be/ll90l2kWCbM Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: Dreadnought on April 29, 2019, 10:40:39 am Quote Development of Matilda I began in 1935. Production began just before the outbreak of the Second World War in July 1939 and 139 vehicles were delivered in August 1940. 97 of these were lost after the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk, without having had much use. The rest were removed from British service in 1941, but captured vehicles stayed in German service in domestic security roles. https://youtu.be/rp1m01ezzMg Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: Dreadnought on April 29, 2019, 11:10:57 am Quote Mark II A12, Matilda Canal Defence Light (CDL) Night fighting always presents problems but searchlights had been tested on tanks as early as 1919. The idea of turning them into an offensive weapon is credited to a Mr A V M Mitzakis, who devised his scheme before the war but the British authorities did not take it up until about 1940. The idea was to use a light of such power that it would dazzle the opposition, leaving them temporarily blind and disorientated. Five British and two American battalions were trained on CDL and two of the British units went out to Egypt. In fact the CDL was never employed as intended. A few tanks were used to cover the Rhine Crossing and there were incidents in India after the war but that is all. https://youtu.be/QDKjTkekYRc Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: Dreadnought on April 29, 2019, 11:38:02 am Quote Matilda Canal Defence Light role in 79th Armoured Division (The Funnies ) led by Major General Percy Hobart.

Lybia, 1941, 27 May. This Panzerkampfwagen MK II Nicknamed "Dreadnought" and registration number T-6970 from the 4-th RTR was captured in Halfaya pass, and returned to service by 8 Panzer-Regiment of the 15.Panzer-Division. It is a fragment from documentary film "Die Geschichte der Deutschen Wehrmacht" Episode Two: "Der Schritt uber die Grenzen". https://youtu.be/-1cvdtdcZUw Title: Re: Matilda - kraljica pustinje Post by: Dreadnought on February 16, 2022, 11:42:01 am Quote Matilda II - The Tank that Worried Hitler he Matilda II tank was ready just in time to join the fight when World War 2 broke out and became the only British tank to serve throughout the entire conflict. The imposing model was conceptualized in the mid-1930s as the Nazi threat became more prevalent. And even though it was somewhat limited in armament and speed, the Matildas soon gained legendary status because of their heavy and impenetrable armor. They especially made a mark in the North African theater, where they wreaked implacable havoc on the enemy and became known as “The Queen of the Desert.” The Italian and German forces didn’t know what to do about it, and as Tank Museum Curator David Willey put it: (QUOTE) “This is the tank that caused Hitler to worry when he read reports of their 37 millimeter anti-tank guns bouncing off this thick armor.” https://youtu.be/yVVuQaqtOSw |
