I would have thought the Panzerfaust and Panzershreck were the no 1 killer of US Shermans.

Problem with the Panzerfaust is that you had to get fairly close to employ it and Shermans were typically accompanied by infantry and there would be several Shermans to shoot back.

The backblast would give away the shooters position.

A Pak could engage from 100’s of meters distance and might get off several shots before its position could be determined.
