It is arguable if the Germans always had the best in terms of armor and anti-armor compared to the Soviets, in many cases the reverse might be more accurate.

The Germans made a mistake relying too much on their armored spearheads and neglecting to give them sufficient infantry support.

Armor should not be used to attack enemy strong points, but find weakspots and use mobility to cut deep into enemy territory - flanking strongpoints.

But it needs infantry support to hold territory.
