We have dispersion on every gun except the man-ack and tankguns. Why?
Well for my part the man-ack could stay as it is, ROF makes it difficult to hit with already.
But tank guns hitting the very same spot at 2000yds... ?
Look at the Tiger's gun:
Accuracy:
Gun 88 mm KwK 36 L/56
Ammunition Pzgr. 39 Pzgr. 40 Gr.39 HL
Range
500 m 100 (100) 100 (100) 100 (98)
1000 m 100 (93) 99 (80) 94 (62)
1500 m 98 (74) 89 (52) 72 (34)
2000 m 87 (50) 71 (31) 52 (20)
2500 m 71 (31) 55 (19)
3000 m 53 (19)

Non bracketed values show the probability in % to hit a tank sized target under controlled conditions, that means it is the ability of the gun+ammunition itself.
The bracketed numbers show the average hit probability in % by an average, calm gunner when the range is known.
Looking at the 2000m column, one sees the gun+ammo for example 39 (most common AP) has a 87% chance of hitting a tank due to dispersion! In other words, it has a dispersion characteristic of roughly 3,8x3,8 meters (~4x4 yds) at 2000m.
Any chance of seeing that in a future version?

Tank's main gun has huge recoil instead.

Well for me it doesnt make a big difference when you focus on recalling where you aimed at when squeezing the trigger.
If thats the case you will hit a stat target basically at any range, every shot.
My point is, there was a reason most tank engagements in WW2 took place under 1500m, usually a lot closer than that even.
