Thats not proof they intended you to use it.

That just increased the likelyhood of it, before we found out what they said.
I'm not saying that they intended us to use it.

I'm saying that if it were UNINTENDED, they would have made the tiger 1-shot if ignored (or they would have patched it to make it such after it was discovered).

What I'm trying to say is that anyone who's calling the tank LB3 strat unintended (or worse, calling it an exploit) is full of it, because all the evidence left in the game points to otherwise.
