As said earlier in the topic , i think matildas are especially suited to go east . So sending a brigade with the otl british divison doesnt sound like a unrealistic idea since there are already abit more matildas than otl. Another place matildas would super useful would be crete . Mainly cause they arent very useful in the desert campaign tough . Maybe a brigade of them for sieges at best and for accompanying infantry i guess on attacks in the desert.
Also send someone over percival and retain him as ur chief of staff thanks to his local knowledge ? And as many timelines that deal with malaya campaign do , u should start to defend at the isthmus rather about 10 miles south of it . A indian corps with atleast one preferably two british divisons with 2 australian divisons . Also maybe dont send the canadian brigade to get captured at hongkong , It would do good defending sarawak for example . And some aircraft would be good , probably hurricanes maybe cause the itl battle of britain isnt as serious as it was in otl ? And some radar equipment .
