Hello Precariat
I own three - the Matilda Black Prince, the Matilda IV, and the Churchill III.
I bought the above Matildas largely because I really liked playing with the original Tier-4 Matilda. This original tank can be fitted with a low alpha, high ROF 2pdr gun, or a Derp gun. Put very simply, if you like the 2pdr Matilda, you'll probably like the Black Prince. Whilst if you like the derpy version, the Matilda IV should suit you well.
I bought the Churchill III because I was struggling to use non-premium T4/5 heavy tanks. Which in hindsight was not a good way of spending my money! The one thing in its favour that I can say as a rather poor heavy tanker is that it generates a lot of crew experience, even when you play it badly. It has some experience coefficient modifier that I read somewhere was the highest in Blitz?
From looking at your stats though I see you have no experience of playing any Tier-4 vehicle, let alone a Matilda. I wouldn't like to recommend any of the above though to play now, as you may well struggle due to lack of experience of playing at this level. Best practice more with the French D1/D2 tanks to see if you're OK driving slow vehicles? And if you do like them, jump to T4 in either a Matilda, B1, or my personal favourite, the Valentine
Regards
Thank you for the info Heliotrope_2016
These are really purchases for the future, just taking advantage of the 50% and if 3.8 makes Blitz not fun to play anymore I'll save nothing by not spending the gold anyway.
My plan is to go from tier II to the Valentine to learn the maps and then go back to playing tier III and onwards.
I have a strange relationship with my D1 low WR but (for me) better than average DR/DPB. Once you get used to the slow speed it's quite fun especially when using HE.
Compare that with the Pz II which I have high WR (65%) but I'm really bad at actually doing any damage with
I'm having a pretty poor run currently, so I went back to the T18 which I tend to do well in (WR 71% DR 3.31) and use that as my alternate vehicle when I have a string of poor performances.
