As you say the 122mm APBC dispersion is worse.
Compare the 90mm extreme dispersion blue box to the 122mm extreme dispersion outer circle here:

(Red box is standard 2.5m x 2.0m German target.)

Not to mention ERA(explosive reactive armor), proper gun stabilization(like oh say hitting a target from 1km away while moving full speed) and other such goodies as electronic fire control and targeting computers.

They’re rather less concerned about the chronological date than the *technology* you know. Which is perfectly reasonable as stuff like composite armour, smoothbores and serious FCS would quite literally “change the rules” – the first one would require major revision of the penetration system for example.

1900m is almost exactly 2100 yards, so accuracy is not almost the same, it is worse.

T-62A=/=T-62

The standard T-62 used a smoothbore cannon(so it could conceivably fire HEAT rounds without the bearing sleeve crap) while the T-62A variant uses a rifled gun.

In gameplay terms, a smoothbore cannon would have penetration ratings upward of 400mm so it would punch hole after hole into a Maus regardless of the maneuvers it’s driver would employ.

Israeli M50 & M51s are known as Super Shermans, not this beast.

Defeating German armor with 75/76 mm guns is still a tough job and having a 90 mm gun would make the job easier, especially in frontal engagements.

Your reasoning is a little off.
