The Tiger PZ IVE under strength?

My answer is simple the kill rate of tigers to shermans was 1 Tiger to 32 Sherm's. The numbers for T-34's were higher. In the Rommel Papers there is a note that stated if the track or rear end was not hit they could not be taken out even at close range. The real problem was numbers as they were unreliable and used too much fuel which was in short supply.
