I really enjoyed this article above. Pointing out the biggest threats to US/UK-Commonwealth/French tanks post D-Day in Northern Europe. Seems that things like breakdowns and AT fire were far far superior to tank on tank action. Mechanical failure as well... Something Devs should take into consideration!

Also an article anyone interested in the daunted Panzers vs the Allied Tanks should read.

Keep in mind that the germans at this stage of the war didn't have much tanks operational, with not even StuG replacements as makeshift tanks filling the gaps. Therefor, most losses would have been against anti-tank guns and other threats (such as Panzershrecks) and not tank on tank combat that happened relativly rarely in western europe post d-day.

Also, breakdowns are simulated via attrition.

Edit: also seems that the statistics are very lacking.
