Well, It IS realistic... cause there were plenty of variants of the M4 by the Americans and by Britain. The typical M4 Medium was armed with a wimpy 75mm, the British were actually smart enough to re-fit the tank with a better 76.2mm "17 Pounder" which could easily take out the Tiger within good range. The Americans of course had upgunned the Sherman from their own (but weaker than the 17 Pdr.) 76.2mm all the way up to 105mm weaponry. There was not just one Sherman variant with a 75mm like all those games and military channels say!
Secondly, you should not have been shooting at the Sherman Firefly's turret anyways since it's modeling is rather flawed realistically having armor about 3" think (Which is something the Tiger can easily take out in real life) AND because you got a whole hull to shoot at right below the turret.
