The tanks shouldn't be balanced. If everything was balanced, perfectly matched, the war would still be at a stalemate. In the early stages of the war Germany was going against the Soviet KV-1s with Panzer IIs. Panzer IIs get bogged down due to thin tracks, and even though they hit the KV-1s they can not penetrate with what, a 37mm shell? A single KV-1 against 50 Panzer IIs will be able to take down 30-40 before running out of ammunition, while the Panzer IIs can only make a dent in the armor. There is no balance, nobody would want a tank equal to or worse then the enemy tanks. The Allied tanks were behind, and Germany did have better tanks before the Allies even landed in Normandy, way late in the war. Yeah the Allied tanks were good, against the Japaneese. Not so good against the Germans. In North Africa, the Allies were somewhat matched with the German tanks but not much better or worse.
