Comparing tank loses doesn't really mean anything. Tanks aren't supposed to fight tanks, next to fighting planes it's very low on the list of priorities. German tanks usually had every advantage in defense, yet despite this suffered horrendous losses. American tanks had almost opposite conditions, but still performed quite well because they were in-fact well designed for the purpose they served.
It's also comparing a standard issue tank with an overhyped propaganda model. I think the Stug 3 would be better for this comparison since it was Germanys most built fully tracked armoured vehicle with a bit more than 10.000 pieces.
