The tiger is a different tank in a different faction with a different economy. It's not 1=1 balance. The tiger has no capacity for Jackson support not dual BAR support. The tiger doesn't have self healing armour to support it. The Pershing doesn't fact allied TDs.

The Pershing loses in a slugging match with the tiger because it's SUPPOSED TO.
And in the end What the tiger is and can do is frankly irrelevant.
What matters is that the Pershing is balanced in its own faction for its own cost.
Usf tanks are specifically not intended to outlast enemy armour. The entire faction is built around this concept.

The Pershing is basicly a Panther with AI. Not a tiger of any strain.

You cannot ignore the power spike that CA brings when balancing the Pershing.

The Firefly has increased base damage that does not really help much vs mediums (unless you can snare), but reduces the shots needed against heavies. The damage bonus with vet improves again vs both targets. Another notable thing is that the mid distance is 45 meters instead of the expected 30. Combined with high mid penetration the Firefly has better penetration at most ranges than the Jackson for example. AT least until the Jackson vets up.

You shouldn't forget that the Firefly is backed up by a carbon copy of the Pak40 which outclasses the 57mm and the ZiS. The Firefly focuses on heavier units against which it performs only slightly worse offensively. The Tulips are mighty strong though.

What about what? Allies get high pen TDs, Axis do not.
The big armor advantage is a myth, both sides are roughly on par.
Axis get a few outliners, and Allies get stock TDs with high pen to deal with them.

Its impossible to discuss the Pershing without CA in the same way you can't talk about the comet without emergency war speed. They are a package deal and always an option. Any changes to the raw unit have to keep the ability in mind. They are inseparable.
