I do not think it should be perked. A T34 can take it out. So yes it can kill a Tiger, but it is very easy to kill..I think it evens things out a bit.

As BBBB already said, a t34 can take out a sherman. So no, not everybody will be driving it.

If the Sherman in modeled correctly, you should be able to up a formation of them (like bombers).  AIUI, it took a squad of Shermans working together to kill a single Tiger.  (BTW, working together meant several dead Shermans to one dead Tiger)

may be wrong here, but isnt it a 75mm gun on the Sherman, and a 88mm on the Tiger? Doesnt that make the Tiger more powerful?

We are getting a firefly with a 17 pounder.
Capable of punching through tiger's frontal armor at appox 1000 yards.
Thats with standard ammo.
The trick will be getting that close.
