10 Shermans to 1 Tiger doesn't sound very good to me. Once the Pz IV's were depleted the Allies/soviets found more and more of the low and eadly Stug III's filling in for the second Pz. Abteilungs. From what I have read and heard from German veterans the Shermans brewed up like a torch in no time from one 75mm hit. As mentioned several times the sherman was not a very low to the ground armored unit. It reminds me of a armored cavalry more than anything rolling through Normandie and Germany during 45. since most of the Shermans riding high in the lend lease program on the Ost front, the GErmans set up traps for them as they could be seen from some distance. The soviets were not very keen on using natural materials to break up the high silhoutte of the Sherman.

Good thread keep er going.....
