Well, it might have been barely adequete when the war started... but it
never got any better.

A Matilda with it's 2 pounder (40mm) gun and relativly heavy armour was
a
deadly opponent for it... I tremble to think what anything with a 17
pounder
would have done.  I have a vague memory of an incident where sherman
fireflys caught japanese armour on open ground... not a pretty sight.
