IMO (Hong Kong) Trigonometric Problem (Modified)

Let $A,\,B$ be acute angles such that $\tan B=2015\sin A \cos A-2015\sin^2 A \tan B$.

Find the greatest possible value of $\tan B$.

This is a fun IMO problem, since it has many ways (all are nothing less than remarkable) to approach it and without any further ado, I will post with the first approach here:

$\tan B=2015\sin A \cos A-2015\sin^2 A \tan B$

$\tan B(1+2015\sin^2 A )=2015\sin A \cos A$
