sherman jumbo could POTENTIALLY stop a tiger round, at long range

but even with the 17pdr, the Tiger could knock it out long before being at risk itself.

The 17pdr was better than the 76mm of the 'easy 8,' yes. However, the others i mentioned - the IS and the M26 - easily outperformed it, though they were only introduced at the end of the war (also, the comet was only introduced at the end of the war - and it was considered to be the first decent British tank)
