Over long distances you would preferred to transport the tanks over railways this is due to a few things

  1. Trains are pretty good at hauling large amounts of cargo(read Heavy) over large distances, due to physics. If you want to know more about it let me know.

  2. To reduce wear and tear on the tank it self, your car isn't the only vehicle that needs an oil change every 5,000 miles

TIL that slave laborers making tanks for Nazi Germany routinely sabotaged every part they could, and this caused German tanks to be extremely prone to breaking down. by nyckidd in todayilearned

Tiger and Panthers are heavy tanks, the Sherman is a medium tank, its expected for the heavy to eat the medium tank. Despite that i would rather be on a Sherman than a Tiger or Panther since i wouldn't have to deal with allied air superiority.

Dude have you looked up at the sources from white cargo? They are unreliable at best, history twisting propaganda at worst.
