I know that. A one shot of Tigers 88mm cannon could destroy a T-34 in 2000 meters range.
There is a legend of Captain Erich Hartmann (not the guy who scored most airkills) who destroyed a whole company of British Cromwell tanks with his Tiger I. The tanks couldnt even do any damage to the Tiger in very close range.

Think u mean Micheal Wittmann. He took out a column of Cromwell, Sherman tanks and support vehicles in France.
His tank was later knocked out by probably the best British and Canadian tank fight of WW2 when they drove behind enemy lines east of Caan. The only time in the war that Allied tanks scored more victories in a head to head iirc. They were in Shermans and the British had a *few* Sherman Firelys. The British modified version with the 17pdr gun.
The Germans actively sought out the Fireflys and they feared them as much as the allies feared just about all of their tanks.
