I ' m no pro genji but I expect another factor to its removal is because if they left it in every future map would need to compensate for it <| sep |> They ' re known for being and being bred to be dog aggressive , not people aggressive . Calm down . <| sep |> Let ' s be clear , the KwK 40 , KwK 42 , KwK 36 , and KwK 43 families were all considered formidable weapons , when the battles were more decided on who initiated combat and had better sighting and fire control , penetration largely became superfluous . That said , the 8 . 8 cm cannons could benefit from a larger projectile , which meant they could fit more high explosive components in their projectilesAP filler , HE explosive . This made the 8 . 8 cm L 56 useful for the Tiger ' s role as a breakthrough vehicle , laying waste to fortified infantry positions . Whereas something like the Panther ' s gun which used techniques that emphasized high velocity meant that it had high AP penetration but probably wasn ' t useful for creating a good explosive shape with their HE round . There ' s more to look at these guns besides their penetration that shaped the opinions of those who lived during the war , but the 7 . 5 cm L 70 is justifiably more powerful than the 8 . 8 cm L 56 for that specific regard .
