 The 90/53 mod.41 is a solid gun that can reliably penetrate vehicles from the front, though usually you will want to be firing at a flank since both the [[Breda 501]] and [[90/53 M41M]] have very limited armour that is not well suited for medium to close range encounters. A solid strategy is to take position in a bush or at the corner of a building and wait for an unsuspecting target to come into range, fire, then fire again or move. If your reflexes are good enough, it is fantastic in city combat as the cannon will knock out anything at those ranges, with the M41M being the better of the two chassis in this role.

-In an artillery duel with a similarly sized gun, the 90 performs well due to the reload speed, which can be improved with leadership, loader skill, and qualification. It is ideal to avoid duels though, because the 90 is particularly vulnerable to damage from AP rounds with the exposed breach, so care should be taken when engaging in prolonged combat with an enemy. Both vehicles that wield it also tend to have very limited stores of ammunition, so it is probably better to fire then retreat rather than stay in a prolonged engagement.

-The HE shells are mostly against soft skinned vehicles, a type that becomes increasingly rare at the BR that you will find it at. Still, the [[M19A1]], [[Ystervark]], and [[8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl.]] are all valid targets since they are vulnerable to HE. The stock APHE shell is good, though the upgrade is even better due to the prescence of more explosive filler.

-The Cannone da 90/53 is truly a marvel of Italian design, and although only present on two vehicles, and player who dares to disrespect it will be in for a beating so Italian that it comes with a side of Alfredo sauce. Boasting superior aspects to the [[Flak.37 (88 mm)|Flak.37]] mounted on the beloved Flak-Bus, the 90 piece is a devastating weapon in the right hands, able to frontally penetrate nigh everything it comes across and knock them out due to its excellent explosive filler.
