Comparison with analogues

The GT-2 is a South African licensed copy of the French DEFA F1 cannon, so it performs identically to it.

The Belgian 90 mm Cockerill Mk.3, used on Italian vehicles, is also a low-pressure cannon. It features higher muzzle velocity and different shells, such as HESH and lower-penetrating HEAT-FS.

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

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
