Very little. The sherman would never get within 2000+ yards to a Tiger in open terrain and the shermans rounds just bounced off of the tiger/panther... even the 76.2mm sherman stood no chance. The Sherman was designed too early in the war to be influenced by German or Soviet technology. The 1st Armored Division deployed to UK early in 1942 without the Sherman but they were soon equipped with them. I believe that during the campaign in North Africa in late 1942 and first half of 1943, the Sherman was available to both the British 8th Army and the US 1st Armored Division---very early in the war. The Sherman tank was powered by a light aircraft engine that ran on gasoline, which made it very flammable. Most German tanks ran on diesel.
