The majority (2/3s+) of German tanks in the West were lost to fuel/parts shortages, and therefore abandonment rather than kinetic Allied action. That is a point the already quoted Niklas Zetterling nicely makes btw, and where Allied airpower came into its own. Its effect was not so much in the destruction of tanks themselves, but rather in interdiction, destruction of soft-skinned vehicles, etc. which were paramount to keeping actual armor going and supplied. The ordeal of Panzer Lehr in its move to Caen illustrates that German predicament nicely, from the beginning of the Normandy campaign the Germans could only really conduct operational road/rail movement by night lest they risked severe harassment.

It's not so much at the 'micro' level, you'll never get factions perfectly balanced at a micro-management level because micro is immeasurable. There are too many variables to 'balance' micro. Look at SC2. Protoss has barely required any micro in some match ups, much to the dismay of many players, but the game is still relatively well balanced. As long as the overall macro/meta makes sense, thats all that matters. Micro is what tips the scales of balance IMO and where the excitement of player experience, speed, skill comes into play.

-Off-topic I'd love to see a more historical game without the sillyness of seeing more or less prototypes in each game.
- Plus after that I listen to certain devs state they are going for authenticity, makes me cringe.
