Great weapon, proved valuable in Hue.

These were better szuited for urban fighting though. 90mm main gun firing HE, canister, White Phosphorous, flechette. HEAT, AP. Equipped with a 7.62 M73 coaxial MG, and a .50 Ma Deuce ouside the cupola, all under heavy armor protection. Even thouygh some crewq members were injured by RPG hits, not one was knocked out and all continued to fight throughout the battle. The Marines credfited them as being invaluable in that fight/.
