Give 8.8cm L/100 gun to Tiger II and VK4502A

Well, no med bar the Lorraine got more penetration than this, so exactly why complaining? And then, why should you aim for weakspots (=small spots) in a fast moving medium if you can simply blast a shell through his flank/arse? And you RoF is not bad at all, and the accuracy is the best full stop.

The 88 L/71 is a great gun, one of my favourite. But the 203 mm penetration need a very steady aiming to hit weakspot what can not be done in a fast moving medium. The gun is great in tier VII but not enough in tier VIII.

88/L71 is great on the tiger and a very solid gun for T7 and capable on T8. I see no real reason to change it.
88/L100 however, is like the 75/L100 on T7, to weak for the tier in becomes available on (T9) and they look stupid. but I do feel that the german medium like becomes a "fast heavy" line, the E-50 (and apperantly E-50M) top gun (105mm) fires a heavy tank ROF resulting in a medium that fights peek-a-boom style with a low(er) alpha gun. or fires fast with a low damage pinociogun.

It would also make Tiger II more standard account friendly (assuming that shells cost the same as L/70 gun) and a more fun sniper.

Yes, gladly. It would make a world of difference for the 4502A. Fot the T2 though... not as important, but I'd still like it to be researchable - for the sake of tree branch interchangability.

Tiger II is the most standard account friendly tier 8 because of the cheap shells for 88/L71. The gun for american T32 has less penetration than the 88mm and still costs 1000 credits per shell.
Well, seriously, if i see a Tiger2 with 88mm, and he's not using the gun because he has yet to unlock his top gun, i laugh in his face.
Trying to turn a T8 in a moneymaker using a shitty gun is not smart, all your team will suffer.

Both Pershing and T44 has less pen, and somehow it's not a problem for them...
thats right, but their low profiles is the cost, the panther II is a skyscraper compared, so it needs a better something which is a better gun.
i can clearly say the P2 must atleast have the gun it has.
when i had P2 i though it was a total okay'ish tank, but lacks of pen and damage for its size.
now with my type, i have such a low profile, good camo, decent slope and good turret armour
so if i had a 200 pen gun with 240 damage (gold ammo

about the topic i only would like to have it avaiable on them to use it on the future e-50 without using free xp.

And it has a better gun... A lot better, both penetration-wise, accuracy-wise(accuracy on move is worse than Pershings though) and aimtime-wise.

How about giving the 88mm L/100 to the tier 9 German heavy tanks to be able to mount in the stock turrets for easier grinding to the 128mm? This makes sense also.
