That's an impressive reconstruction, particularly of the solid shot APCBC rounds. Hollywood usually can't resist big flashy explosions in that kind of scene. Makes me wish I'd seen the movie while it was in the cinemas.
In that scenario, the British and Canadians would usually have one Firefly (an M4 with a British 17-pounder) waiting to take its shot while the other three took the Tiger's attention. The Tigers soon learned to try to identify the Firefly as quickly as possible.
Some writers have suggested that it was a myth that the Tiger's traverse was too slow to track an M4 (or a T-34.) It does sound like the sort of story that Allied commanders would spread to boost the morale of their tank crews, which was flagging somewhat in Normandy as they encountered both the Tiger and Panther in substantial numbers for the first time. The makers of Fury clearly accept it as true.
I read somewhere that in the Philippines, M4 crews found it more effective to use HE rounds against the Type 95 Ha-go - APCBC was inclined to go straight through them causing minimal damage unless it hit something vital.
One option I would expect the Japs to use would be ramming the M4. Knock the tread off and it's helpless. I haven't found any accounts of that - but I have read of a British commander doing that to a Tiger in Operation Charnwood. Having crippled it (and his own tank), he walked back to get a Firefly and duly finished the Tiger off. Presumably the Tiger crew had also abandoned ship by that time!
