-To further enhance the mobility both for keeping up with the mainstreams of MBT development as well as compensate for the heavier weight, T-90M installed ChTZ V-92S2F engine from T-72B3 mod. 2016 (post-UBH upgrade). While this increased the acceleration of the vehicle, the unchanged transmission inherited from previous Soviet/Russian MBT design also means it retained the notorious -4.2 km/h reverse speed, so always plan the attack route and seek for cover when facing enemy armor column  - its reverse speed won't do much especially at openings.

-The T-90M should be played somewhat cautiously across Arcade, Realistic and Simulator battles due to its poor mobility and gun depression of -6°. However if played cautiously, the T-90M is an amazing tank having both ample amounts of armor and firepower, which can easily and swiftly take on its two main rivals, being the M1A2 SEPV2 and the Leopard 2A7V.
