Not if they were confronted with a Nashorn with it's mighty 88, that would negate the above mentioned allied countermeasures.
Also one of the main eventual failure of the German Panzerwaffe was that eventually the Luftwaffe lost air control and that allied aircraft began shooting up as many German Panzers as they could, eventually the Tiger and King Tiger as impressive as they were were no match for a Thunderbolt and Stormoviks and the like armed to the teeth with anti-armour rockets. Also one thing with the Soviet Union out of the way either having surrendered of being fatally crippled as to pose no threat, Germany would have by say 1943 have concentrated everything it had to subduing England.
