Yes and no. I personally think the Pershing is slightly above the Tiger in terms of performance (due to high mobility, a great gun in both AI and AT, very fast veterancy gain, and now decent durability for a heavy tank), leaning more towards the Tiger Ace.

It seems to be very powerful at its current timing and performance, and it could probably use a very small adjustment. I personally think it could use a ~5-10% price increase (to 650-700mp and 240-250fu) for a small adjustment to its timing, and it needs to get slightly higher veterancy requirements (it has pretty much medium tank vet requirements atm because it used to be so fragile) now that it has the increased durability, so that it doesn't scale as fast (giving the enemy more time to react).

That way we can make it slightly easier to deal with while keeping the unit itself powerful.

2v2 and above, pre-patch Pershing never had easy time due to fragility. I see the concerns about 1v1s but in current form Pershing doesn't differ much from Tiger, especially with extra damage reduction on vetted grens.
Tiger comes in doctrines with skillplanes, fragmentation bombing, light arty barrage, panzer tactician etc., while Pershing is in only 1 non-flexible doctrine that restricts USF access to arty, which is essential in teamgames. Moreover after both tanks vet up, Tiger has higher range, higher rate of fire, higher armour, higher HP pool, can upgrade the MG mounted on the turret and is by no means slow. If you think about army composition possibilities and map variety for 2v2, not all maps are good for tank destroyers as some locations do not allow you to make use of your fragile 60 range TDs and your AT guns will die immediately due to ease of flanking with inf or Tiger just killing them with new improved AOE. These are the locations where Tiger has pure dominance and not much can be done about it, yet the problem is with Pershing that can lose to stock Panther which is significantly cheaper... I don't get it.

Lack of stock rocket arty and reliable response to sniper are problematic for 2v2+. Today I saw a top ranked 2v2 game with wehr sniper reaching 87 kills in 32 minutes vs USF before getting randomly killed by Scott. USF player went for M20 but couldn't kill the sniper due to gren presence, instead the M20 died from suicidal charge of 222.

Tbh I don't think the scatter & AOE changes for all heavy tanks were needed. These tanks were very good before, but now they kill AT guns frontally. They have great AI & AT and also have excellent survivability which is super important for a game like coh2 in which unit preservation is a must. Heavy stalling may be a bad strat for 1v1 in which you can benefit from mobile armoured vehicles and immediately transfer your advantage into map control, but in 2v2 and above if you wait just a few more minutes you are going to receive a much more significant power spike of omni-vehicle. This is especially good for axis as they don't have to choose between arty and a heavy tank both of which play huge role in teamgames. Meanwhile USF has to sacrifice Priest/Calliope for Pershing and Brits have to give up Sexton or Land Mattress for Crocodile and it's not even good at AT. Out of 3 allied factions only SOV can field something like IS2 and Katy together and IS2 scatter still doesn't allow it to kill AT guns reliably and you can't risk it vs stun shots from pak40.

KT + JP4 non-doc combo is very tough to deal with when they camp a VP. It used to be good before but now it's even better. KT can't be rushed, takes a lot of popcap and is not very mobile after the vet changes with blitz at v3 so it's not a huge issue, but it's still very powerful once both units are available.

Heavies are too meta in 2v2 for my liking and I wish more love was given to medium tanks. Comet is still overpriced.

When I play Brits with the Polish voicelines, sometimes I get a bug which muffles most of the sounds with some exceptions. Today I also had a problem with flare ability of the Brit Sexton commander as it wouldn't trigger throughout the entire match. I tried to use it several times in different situations in a match and had 200+ muni at the time even though the ability costs like 60 or so. I didn't have problems with this ability in other matches, just one.

The sound issue is really crippling. I wonder if it's anything that I can fix myself or I have to get used to it. Today the sound bug happened twice for me, each time after I built mortar pit and barraged something. The sound bug has been there for ages, but I finally decided to ask for help. Please, don't tell me I need to use other voicelines. With english voicelines the brit accent drives me nuts, OKW yells angrily all the time and Sov URRAAAAAA sounds like uUUUUUURraa which is cringy.

In 2v2 you build 3x RM before LT/CPT or you can forget about your fuel. You can't fight Spio + 2x or 3x Volks with just RET and 2x RM.

KV2 is not quite as attractive choice as IS2, KV8 or ISU152. Reload takes long and scatter is subpar with moderate penetration. It's better than T34 but for this price one would expect something more powerful.
