IX Object 590 boasts an reverse autoloader, delivering a burst of 960 HP of damage in 8 seconds. Its 4-second interval between shells allows for effective tracking, discouraging enemy advances. It excels in positional firefights, providing robust support to its allies when attacking from the second line. Careful assessment of your tactical situation is essential: the reverse autoloader implies that the first shell takes the longest time to load. Therefore you should expend all shells whenever opportunity arises! Maintain firing cyclically with a single shell in your clip to maximize your damage output.

Despite its imposing appearance, the armor of the Object 590 is something to be aware of and to keep protected as much as possible. Frequently, same-tier tanks can penetrate its hull and turret front with standard ammunition. While the side hull armor facilitates side scraping, overangling is a risk. Survivability hinges on strategic positioning and leveraging the tank's mobility for dynamic combat situations, making it a challenging but rewarding vehicle for skilled players.

The Object 590 offers decent mobility and overall agility, with a 52 km/h top speed. Although sluggish initially, as the tank accelerates to maximum speed, it can facilitate hit-and-run tactics, flanking maneuvers, and peek-and-shoot strategies. Its mobility is a key asset, aligning with the tank's recommended playstyle of dynamic and adaptive engagement on the battlefield.
