RE: Light guns destroy medium tanks
Someone posted a thread earlier this year demonstrating how 4 25mm AA guns can kill a Tiger in under a minute. Tiger is immobilized almost immediately, and the crew bails out by about the 0:45 mark. I tested it several times and 4 guns seems to be the minimum required.

I also tried it with 20mm German AA guns vs Russian tanks, it takes longer and you may lose some of the guns, but it still works.

Finally, I think the Pz IV might be uniquely vulnerable among medium tanks to light AT guns due to its weak armor. T-34 or even Shermans might do better? Maybe not, but almost any round will go through a Pz IV.
