The only way a US Sherman tank could hope to destroy a German Mark V Panther or Mark VI Tiger tank was to somehow get within one hundred yards, and then shoot it in the rear. Armor is heavy and this tends to be among a tank's most vulnerable areas, because the designers save weight by making the rear armor thinner. The bottom is completely unarmored, if you can get a shot at that. This was true even of the "upgunned" Sherman with a high-velocity 76MM main gun. Both German tanks could penetrate the thickest armor on a Sherman with ease at a thousand yards. The Sherman is a medium tank and the US was aware of its deficiencies in combat with German armor early on, but the US never developed a heavy tank during the war. The US hoped to make up for the Sherman's shortcomings with numbers, with partial success. The US built 88,000 Shermans, the Germans built only 1300 Tigers.

How many bullets does it take to blow up a tank by rpg?
Technically, an RPG is not a bullet- it is an anti-tank rocket. And there is no one answer- whether a tank is destroyed by an RPG will depend on exactly where- and at what angle- the rocket strikes the tank. It might be destroyed by one, or not destroyed by 10.

What is dead tank?
A common term for a "knocked out tank". The term "destroyed tank" is often INCORRECTLY used, as no tank is totally destroyed unless it's either re-melted at the factory, or blown into scrap steel by a direct hit from an aerial 1,000 pound bomb. And it might take two hits from a 1,000 pounder to reduce a modern tank into scrap metal. So, the proper name is knocked out (out of action)...a dead tank.
