The reason for 1st person depression limit?

I wondered many times: Why can you aim lower or higher in 3rd person view than in 1st person view?
For tanks which like to hide their hull its very annoying because the slight difference in depression on long range means alot! + If I cant use the 1st person view on long range my shots tend to miss.
So please tell me the reason why you made it that way, is it a bug or intended?
If its not a bug I'd like to understand your decision.
Thanks
