== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===

* {{Specs-Link|fr_aml_90|short}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

== Media ==
''An excellent addition to the article would be a video guide, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

 == Description ==
-DEFA CN90F1 also known as DEFA 921 is a french light gun designed for light vehicles. Operating on low pressure and being exceptionally lightweight by itself, it made the creation of AML-90 possible: gun was relatively easy to operate while also permitted the 5-tonne chassis to punch well above it's weight.

-The most troubling thing was the long range performance of the gun. Using low velocity ammunition and having rather inadequate fire control systems the accuracy of  the gun was far from perfect if not outright terrible. Six-Day war and South African Border War, where the vehicles equipped with it were used confirmed it, as the AMLs were being constantly outranged while fighting M48s and even T-34/85s. Light chassis used to accomodate the gun were also not allowing to fire on the move out of fear of overstraining the suspension and transmission (apart from that, the gun was never equipped with stabiliser).

-Nonetheless, in conflicts where it was used, it proved to be perfectly capable of destroying MBTs, especially when attacking in flanking maneuvers.
