Why did they "buff" the Tiger's gun?

Draschel:  Tiger switches targets better now, with the aim-time buff. The slight increase in reload time, helps off-set the rather high after-firing dispersion, so tiger seems usually quicker to fire these days. And you don't pay for it either, because you get more DPM anyway with the alpha.  Do you? Do you do well? Not trying to insult or berate you, but ask yourself, do you do well? It is an honest question.Target damage WN8, MoE requirements for Tiger I - GERMANY 7 tier tank - World of Tanks (wotgarage.net)Look at that, and ask yourself, do you do well? I'd expect doing well, would be defined quantitatively rather than qualitatively, 1,650 and 2K+ combined for well. 2,100 and 2.5K+ for very well.By looking at that, anyone can statistically discern, without the attitude of an a--  but rather quite logically, what server population do in the tank and what's well or not. Taking damage for free isn't a good strategy. And it is a terrible strategy in slow heavy tanks. And further terrible, in open med flanks where tiger H so commonly gets tracked or suffers front engine damage. And being slow to begin with. Quite a few things you could benefit from, if I were you. I *would* still go to the heavy flank. I would still use my HP, but it would be in a trade. 280 for trades are weak sauce, right? And ehre is the issue you seem to fall on, 280x2 isn't weakTiger will take 390 or 320 or 300, then proceed to deal 560 back. It has monstrously higher DPM than things like KV3, 45TP or T29. And if  IS  tank is using 100mm for DPM and gun handling, Tigers 88 is a better version of that. So in any scenario, where in close combat, your AKA heavy line, you fall upon the enemy and take 390, dude deal 560 right back. It is easy. Not only that, Tiger tracks stuff and perm-tracks insanely even with fire rate reduction. And if you are POKING to deal that 280, and instead poke on a guy waiting for you and get slapped for 390 - well that isn't anyone's fault but yours. You need to be aware. That is on you.
