the ratio was a myth incidentally,

there was no casualty figure that can correlate to it anywhere on either side, it's simply a number made up by the arguments regarding the issue that are then reiterated so many times no one knows who started it.

you can take a look at sherman casualty figure for example by cause of destruction in 1944 which is available from Operational Research Section (a war department whose job is to collect FACTUAL information of the outcome in the field, to find out what exactly happened)

the reality was that so few tanks on each side was killed by another tank compared to other threats... in particular anti tank guns (well duh... it's not rocket science that anti tank guns would be one of the biggest threat to tanks)..

and there wasn't a single nation with the 'best tech' in the war, each side had a particular area they had advantage on tech wise... German with their sub, rocketry, armor, etc... Britain with their radar, naval aviation (they had some of the most fearsome anti ship/anti sub aircrafts around), and aviation in general though they were neck on neck for single engine fighters... US with their heavy bombers, fire control system on both land and sea (they had one of the first gun stabilizer for tanks equipped on Shermans, and the first computerized fire control system for aircraft which resulted in the Super Fortress).
