I feel they should have tried upgunning it to long 88mm later in the war. This would have hopefully eliminated the need for the Tiger tanks as it could have superceded them in both AT and Anti-infantry capabilities.
I also think it wasn’t really the ideal tank that was needed. Something to better replace the Panzer IV, while staying near its 25 ton weight (i.e. a german take on the T-34 of sorts)
