GarageImage Type 90.jpg


The Type 90 is a Rank VII Japanese medium tank with a battle rating of 11.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.79 "Project X".

General info

Survivability and armour

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?

If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Mobility

Write about the mobility of the ground vehicle. Estimate the specific power and maneuverability as well as the maximum speed forward and backward.

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 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:

  • Really good composite armour
  • Best APFSDS shell in the entire game, able to penetrate all tanks from far range
  • 5 second autoloader and best reload speed combined with the best shell in the perfect turret
  • Great mobility
  • Great acceleration for both forward and reverse speed
  • A bit smaller than the Leopard 2A4, giving it a lower profile

Cons:

  • Lacks composite armour on lower front armour plate, plus combined with the presence of shells in the front of the tank, a direct hit will quickly take it out
  • Hydropneumatic suspension adjustment takes time and requires the tank to be stationary
  • Lower general survivability than the Leopard 2A4 due to the crew of 3; one good hit and the tank is out

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
