Description
The GIAT CN120-25 G1 is a 120 mm smoothbore gun and it could fire variety of NATO 120 mm ammunition, including the French OCC 120 G1 HEAT but also the OFL 120 G1 APFSDS, which are all suitable for every NATO 120 mm smoothbore gun.

Usage in battles
- Hit and Run
The CN120-25 G1 cannon is best suited for "Hit and Run" attacks, as the tanks it is mounted on have adequate mobility to make these attacks possible and effective. The user should try to flank the enemy as the rounds the CN120-25 G1 fires, will have a hard time penetrating the frontal plates of enemy USSR tanks. Side shots and rear shots are the best way to engage and enemy with this cannon as most of the time, going head-on and engaging the frontal armour of enemy tanks will be a suicide mission.
- Sniping
The CN120-25 G1 can also be used to snipe enemies from afar. It isn't the best idea to do so, and the more effective way to snipe would be to combine a flanking playstyle with the sniping playstyle. As mentioned above, the rounds that the CN120-25 G1 fires aren't effective against frontal armour of enemy tanks, like for example the T-72B, T-72B3, T-80B and T-80U tanks, so the user should focus on side or rear shots. Finding a position behind enemy lines or on the sides with adequate cover, will make the CN120-25 G1 shine.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Gun is stabilized; one of the few modern tanks that have a stabilizer in the French tree
- High velocity for its APFSDS shell
Cons:
- Not enough penetration power to pierce trough most frontal armour plates; side shots are essential
- Creates below-average amounts of spalling; multiple shots will be required
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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 />.
