Now I know the timing comparisons will be tossed around with Panzer 4, but you really have to remember that German AT is far superior to allied AT and especially USF AT options. Sherman was much more viable before because it could hit the field early enough to get ahead of some of that. Now there is little reason to get it over the Scott/EZ8/Jackson for the various roles it performs. Better to get a Jackson/M8 and or EZ8 combo than multiple 75m Shermans.
I suggest a cost decrease to 90FU.

The Sherman can wipe squads fairly well. Ya it comes a little later but it is still a solid choice. I think USF has 99 problems but the Sherman isn't one.
Engage German anti-inf with your sherman, their AT with your inf, and just bend over and lose the game to OP42s.

Same penetration so P4 does not have more AT unless you are speakin of long range combat Kappa but I never have that problem since I always rush my shermans in close range. coh2-stats.com

It says right there P4's far penetration is superior by 20. Additionally, the P4's reload time is superior, but by the very minor difference of 0.3 seconds.

The biggest problem is a lack of scalability, but that is a problem with allied armor in general vs. Axis armor.

I still wonder at what point they decided to completely remove the 76mm Sherman from the game. It's obvious from it's inclusion in Lend-Lease and the first trailer that it was intended to be part of the USF.
"Guys...what if...HE"
The entire USF faction design

Cult of the M10
Except nobody should be forced to rely on a single doctrine. But I do love those things.
