It is telling that at the end, Erika was panicking and rushing to Maho's aid. By that stage she knew they were being outplayed.
By all logic Erika shouldn't have worried about Maho being defeated by a type IV while in a Tiger. In the end Miho had to push her own tank past the breaking point to score a pint blank back shot. But at that point Erika KNEW.
Erika knew that they are facing a better team. That their old plans just aren't working. That everything was falling apart around them as their superiority was being dismantled systematically, and that they could lose.
Erika was terrified. At that point the specifics of how a Tiger is superior to a Type IV was no longer relevant. Because nothing made sense to her anymore, her world was turned upside down.

Well, Miho used the sole advantage Panzer IV had over Tiger I, which was mobility. Judging from how Tiger I's turret turned too much, even Maho might have anticipated similar maneuver, but didn't know when the desperate gamble would come, and probably couldn't time it just right.
