Any serviceman who served in a Sherman M4 had huge respect for them and gave them a wide berth.

And called in an airstrike on them. They were brilliant when they came out but they were a waste of valuable resources in the end.
An 88 mounted on anything was a difference maker.
When it comes to Volkswagen cars, I hear more former owners claiming what an over engineered piece of crap they were.
My father saw them “up close and personal” in the Ardennes and later in Germany. He wasn’t fond of them...to say the least.
They had even bigger ones too - the Tiger II and the Jagdtiger were even bigger and more heavily armed.
And I believe I recall reading about a prototype called the “Maus” - I think only two were made, but they were huge.
Long way from the Blitzkrieg mentality of the early war years with Pzkpfw I, II, and III running amok...
