How about giving a Tiger it's stripes?

I don't want uber, knowing the small scale (perhaps 1/10th of actual) of the game, but the allies should shudder a little when a Tiger appears in front of them. The Tiger's 88 was able to take out enemies at 2000m!

The Tiger also had superior optics to its counterparts, that should be reflected with increased accuracy.

I'm not even talking about other tanks with guns in the 80's caliber. I'm talking 56 caliber tanks giving me one shot, to a dug-in Tiger from a decent distance and blowing me up. Not even just damaging my turret, but blowing the whole thing up. That's ridiculous! I had one time where i took out an allied tank and then rotated my Tiger so the front faced the next tank i was going to take out while i reloaded, and BOOM, i got blown up again from a reasonable distance. We're talking about shells below 80 mm.
