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.
Erika was way too deep in the Nishizumi style even further than Maho herself. It's like she wanted to be part of the Nishizumi family. She couldn't accept that a Nishizumi member would stray away from the traditional style and come up with its own style. She simply refused Miho's style all the way.
