75MM Field Gun Type 90
Japan WW II
The most modern of the Japanese Field Artillery of WW II was the 75mm Field Gun Type 90, which was loosely based on the Schneider et Cie., (the French Schneider and Co.), Canon de 85, Mle 1927, (85mm Gun, Model of 1927). The type 90 was equipped with wooden wheels for animal draft, and solid rubber tires for mechanical draft. This is the only Japanese field gun equipped with a muzzle brake, and formed the basis for the Type 3 tank gun in the Ho-ni I (Gun Tank Type I).
It is doubtful that any of these weapons served after WW II.
