RE: Sherman v Pz IV, is there a rating problem?
Back in 2015 there was quite a bit of discussion about the Sherman and its ratings in the thread titled "Spearhead Division", so if anyone hasn't seen that thread you should check it out.
Somewhere in there it was pointed out that perhaps the best way to judge the merits of a rating is whether or not it encourages/compels you to use tactics that correspond to those used in actual events. I would say that the Sherman armor rating compels a "hide in the bushes, let the infantry root out the German tanks first" plan of action that I doubt was as prevalent in real life as it is on the PzG maps. I'm sure it happened, but in PzG there aren't many other good options (swarm?). But I'm not an expert by any means, so I'm looking forward to getting some education here.
