Maintenance Works Due to 6.5 Update

So where is the 8.8cm buffs we saw in the 0.6.4 test which was removed from the official patch? Overlord said that you guys had no time to test the changes but yet we still get an ROF nerf for an accuracy increase(8.8 L56) that should have been there from the beginning?
Seriously, can you not give the 8.8 L56 more penetration since it needs that more than damage? I cannot believe it is my best gun on the VK3002DB while all my peers get guns with higher penetration all the while being put into matches with Tier 9 heavies. The 8.8 L71 is the only one that needs a damage increase because as of right now, the Tiger is still the weakest Tier 7 heavy.
But what I really want to know is why has the improvements to the 8.8 L56 and L71 (the damage increase) was left out in this patch? Are we ever going to see a much deserved inprovement to this guns at all?
