Armaments
Laser rangefinder
Reduces the error and increases the maximum measurable distance of the rangefinder
Night vision device
Improves visibility by enhancing natural light or active illumination.
Thermal imager
Allows to see thermal radiation in the infrared range day and night
Main armament
Two-plane stabilizer
Reduces the swing of the gun in two planes while moving
Autoloader
Automatically feeds projectiles into the breech. The speed does not depend on the skills of the loader
Ammunition40 rounds
First-order22 rounds
Reload7.1 s
Vertical guidance-6° / 13°
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.
