Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Strong armour penetration
• Penetration of enemy targets will most likely result in a one-shot
• 30 rounds of ammo compared to the 90/53 M41M with the same cannon
• Fast reload for it's caliber and penetration

Cons:

• Slow turret rotation speed
• Practically no armour
• Only -2 degrees of depression
• Forward firing arc is limited by the cabin
• Shots to the turret tend to knock out the breech

History

Devblog History

Italian company “Ansaldo de Gênes Sampierdarena” began to develop a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on a wheeled chassis in 1940, which paved the way to mount a 90 mm gun on a truck, with the arrangement allowing for the cannon to direct fire at enemy ground targets. The Breda 51 Coloniale (6x4) army truck was chosen as the main vehicle of choice, and after modifications were made, the official designation of Breda 52 was given. Production of this new vehicle commenced even before the testing phase had even finished in May 1941. By May 1943 a total of 120 of these vehicles were delivered to the Italian Army. The Breda 52 with the Cannone da 90/53 gun was used in battle in North Africa and also to defend Italy from the Allied invasion.

• 90/53 M41M - same gun but on a tracked and more armored chassis but at a lower "br" since it can only take 8 rounds of ammo
