Description
The 90 mm M36 is an American tank cannon used in the M47 Patton II series of tanks. The 90 mm M36 is based on the T119E1 gun, which fired both standard and higher-pressure 90 mm ammunition for better ballistic performance.

Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.
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
Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

History
During the development of the T42 medium tank prototype (which would later become the M47), the initial armament requirement of the tank was to have an equivalent firepower to the M46 tank. However, a British liaison officer objected to this specification saying it is no longer adequate, using the British 20-pdr cannon as an example of a more powerful tank armament in service.[1]
In response, the requirements was revised that upon the T42's approval for production, the specification called for the 90 mm gun T119 to be used, which could use APDS rounds in the armour-piercing shell. However, the gun maintains the same chamber volume as the previous 90 mm M3 gun, but rated for a much higher maximum pressure. This means that the T119 was able to fire older rounds for the 90 mm M3, but also newer, higher-pressure rounds for more ballistic performance. To prevent mix-ups of the T119's higher-pressure rounds being loaded into the 90 mm M3 gun, the casing was modified that would prevent loading into the older gun.[1] The gun was mounted in the T42 tank in the Mount T139.[2]
After the T42's adoption for production as the M47 in 01 November 1950, the Army Field Forces continued to evaluate the tank prior to its standardization. As such, the T119 was still in its prototype designation (later redesignated to T119E1 for unspecified reasons). One change in the T119 design was the replacement of the single baffle muzzle brake with a cylindrical blast deflector. However, after the M47's standardization in 08 April 1952, the 90 mm gun T119E1 was standardized as the 90 mm gun M36, with Mount M78. Another change to the muzzle brake after its standardization was the replacement of the cylindrical blast deflector with a T-shaped deflector.[3]
A lightweight 90 mm gun design would later be developed for the 90 mm Gun Tank T48 tank prototype, based off the ballistics of the 90 mm gun M36. This would eventually be designated the 90 mm gun M41.[4]
