The Type 90 was Japan's main artillery piece throughout the Second Sino-Japanese War, and later during the rest of WW2. It is a 75mm quick-firing gun-howitzer, lighter but just as effective as its contemporaries, and easily transportable through sea lift. It served faithfully in the Imperial Japanese Army, earning a very good reputation, both with them and with the enemy. After the war its small calibre became a liability, and most stocks were sold off or destroyed.
