Awesome penetration but lack proper power to do some real damage and stop a tank. Also quite a Tungsten resource burden for country like Germany.

Yeah, this anti-tank gun was very advanced technology

Tapering barrel that allowed velocity of up to 1,400 m/s
Tungsten armor-piercing shells

oh and i forgot to mention according to its service related article , on one ocassion a round from this weapon managed to penetrate the lower front hull of an IS heavy tank , so dont let the small calibre fool you

the muzzle velocity of the shells fired from the sPzB 41 was 1,400 m/s and according to its wikipedia article the AP shell could penetrate 52-69mm at a 60 degree angle and about 75mm at a 90 degree angle so general jack this absolutely can maul a sherman at this close range (forgot to mention that these penetration values are for a distance of about 100 meters)

Sherman built to be immune to 37mm at any and all angles.
This should not be possible, ever.

I've snuck a puma behind a M4A1 sherman and the AP rounds penned the back of the turret with ease. In around 20 rounds it disabled the tank and killed half the crew but I had to be within 100 meters to do that.

Sherman destroyed.
Happened to me to destroy a Sherman even with a 20 mm gun, but you need to be very close and hit it many times
