Description
The CN90 F4 (otherwise known as the Super 90) is a 90 mm smooth-bore cannon manufactured by Nexter. The Super 90 is based off of the earlier F1 and F3 versions and compared to the earlier versions, it is way lighter and has higher muzzle velocities, while also being 19 calibres longer than the earlier version of the cannon.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Both the barrel and the breech are made from ESR (Electro-Slag Refined) steel, a process which adds more polish and toughness to the steel, while the vertical wedge breech is inclined at an angle of 35° to allow easier, and faster, reloading.
In case maintenance is required, the breech mechanism and the recoil mechanism have been designed in a way to allow quick and easy maintenance without having to strip down the cannon completely. The breech mechanism itself is made from modular assemblies while the recoil mechanism is made up of smaller subassemblies, which aid in the quick and easy maintenance.
A thermal coat is also added onto the cannon to help withstand higher temperatures without the barrel deforming. At the end of the cannon, a single-baffle muzzle brake is added to aid with recoil.

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
Pros:
- Fairly good reload speed of 6.5 seconds
- Access to smoke shells
- Starting HEAT-FS is powerful
Cons:
- Very mediocre APFSDS shell; low penetration power and post-penetration damage
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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 />.
