Thank you for your expertise in this what-if.
Reading Kapitan's comment made me remember an episode of War Factories.
In this episode they talked about the famous German tank The Tiger.
While I sad there and watch this episode, listening to the historians and watching black and white film clip I was one big "!".
So I think Aktungbby could be more accurate on this.
Even though Germany would have 100 folds more material, the way the factories was created and how it worked, made them very ineffective.
This is the feeling I get by watching episode of War factories.
The tracked on these Tiger tanks had to be removed and replaced with a transporter tracks, before loaded on to a train. Then near the front they removed this transporter track and put the original back.
The gearbox was very complicated and it toke hours for tank driver to learn mastering it.
Each time a Tiger tank left the factory
a lot more Sherman left the factory(I can't remember who many it was)
This is a what-if question, so even Kapitan could be accurate we don't know, and thank God for that.
