Armaments

Main armament

Main article: 2A46M-5 (125 mm)

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles

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.

Pros and cons

Pros:

3BM42 APFSDS round available stock, with a researchable and powerful 3BM60 APFSDS round also available
Tandem-charge barrel launched ATGM is available
Outstanding thermal vision quality
Excellent gun handling
Strong frontal armour performs well against both kinetic and chemical projectiles
Presence of spall liner can save crew members
Laser Warning System (LWS) alerts of incoming laser guided threats
Tier 4 Additional ERA Modification available (Relikt 5)
Ammo in the hull is jacketed and stored horizontally, reducing the risk of detonation
Autoloader provides a consistent reload speed regardless of crew health and skill
Good mobility

Cons:

Poor gun depression of -6°
Slow reverse speed, terrible for retreats
No Shtora APS like the T-90A
Prone to being breeched
Relatively cramped crew and modules
Slower reload compared to all nations except China
Only has 3 crew members

History

The T-90M MBT was developed by the Ural Design Bureau of Transport Engineering under the "Breakthrough" modernization program. During this development the T-90 family of tanks received a new welded turret, featuring Relict ERA, an improved engine and a modern fire control system, which includes a panoramic commander sight and multi-channel for the gunner's sight. This modernized variant was presented to the general public in 2017, and since 2019 T-90M tanks have begun to enter service with the Russian Federation's army.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (Object 188M), colloquially known as the "Proryv-3" (Прорыв-3; Breakthrough-3), is the latest mass-production MBT in service with the Russian Army. First spotted in 2017, the T-90M features a redesigned, welded turret, advanced fire control system and remote-controlled weapon station, as well as a new powerplant to keep up with advancing MBT development. The redesign also introduced an autoloader and ammunition layout revision for better survivability in combat.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet medium tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]].
-Introduced in [[Update "Air Superiority"]], the T-90M introduces further upgrades to enhance its combat capabilities, including a new powerplant, upgraded turret and FCS, as well as access to new Relikt ERA modules for maximum protection. Although the decade-old lack of reverse speed still haunts the vehicle, the overall upgrades on T-90M bring it up to modern standards with improved protection.

 <!-- ''Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and manoeuvrability, as well as the maximum speed forwards and backwards.'' -->
-To further enhance mobility as well as compensate for the heavier weight, the T-90M was fitted with the ChTZ V-92S2F engine from the T-72B3 mod. 2016 (post-UBH upgrade). While this increased the acceleration of the vehicle, the unchanged transmission inherited from previous Soviet/Russian MBT designs means it retains the notorious -4.2 km/h reverse speed, so always plan your attack route and seek cover when facing an enemy armoured column - the T-90M's reverse speed won't be much help, especially in open terrain.
