| − | === Comparison with analogues ===
| |
| − | The closest American equivalent to this cannon is going to be both the 90mm T15E1-1 cannon found on the Super Pershing, and the 90mm M3 cannon on the T25
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the Russians there really isn't a suitable equivalent at this BR, since most of the Russians either use their huge 122mm or the medium velocity 85mm
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Usage in battles ==
| |
| − | The cannon is mainly going to be used for defensive play, due to the the below average reload speed of a stock crew. At Most of the BR's that you experience it can punch through everything you encounter. Notable exceptions are the hull of the Super Pershing and T25, along with some of the hulls of Russian TD's that appear in this BR range
