Patton, Tiger>>>>Panzer>>>>>Sherman. Erwin Rommel had far superior technology
Absolutely false. The "Easy 8" Sherman was every bit the match of the PzKw IV's that made up the majority of German tanks in '44-'45. Plus, the overwhelming superiority Patton had in the air and artillery.
This does not even count the fact the Germans had very limited field repair facilities and depots to repair their AFVs. This was another area that Patton had an overwhelming advantage that no one talks about.
But, the biggest edge Patton had (by far) was mastery of the air.

In Africa, I believe, Rommel's tanks were mostly Mark I's and II's, outdated peashooters.
