Which gun do you prefer in an anti-tank role; the 90mm the Pershing and M36 used or the 17- pounder used on the Firefly?

Always been a sucker for that rounded muzzle brake on the 17lber!

The 90mm. :thumbup:
The 17pdr has too much muzzle blast, giving away its position with flash and kicking up too much dirt and dust. This also hindered the crews with subsequent firing. :thumbdown:
BUT, given a choice i would go for the KwK 43 German 88 mm @)
