Wittman's tiger was taken out by a Canadian 75mm sherman.
76mm Shermans with HVAP could easily take out Panthers. Shermans (both US and Britcuck) almost never actually fought head to head with Tigers, there were only 240 total (I and II) in the western front in it's entirety. Most succumbed to mechanical trouble/abandonment. The rest knocked out by air.
The Russians did knock out a number of Tigers with frontal shots from lend lease 76mm Shermans.
it took 2x as long to fire the 17 pounder, and you couldn't hit shit with it. They shoved it in a tiny turret so the crew was all fucked when trying to operate it. It was crap.
