I don't know of any American panzer aces. Who were they?
I think that's a fair statement though, but there's surely more to it than only the tank. The german panzer crews had been fighting for almost 5 years before 1944, and not always with prime equipment either.

There were men like Lafayette Pool though, give your guys some credit :P
