Terrain and deployment decide whether tanks or guns dominate

In a Second World War setting, would it be worse to face a Cromwell, Comet, Centurion, or an infantry battalion supported by 25-pounder guns?

It depends on terrain and deployment: tanks, infantry, and 25-pounders are dangerous in different conditions, so how they are used matters more than a simple equipment ranking.

The Cromwell, Comet, Centurion, and a battalion with 25-pounder guns cannot be ranked without specifying how they are deployed. Artillery and infantry are dangerous to tanks, but a platoon with its own infantry support could attack effectively across open ground if it caught the guns exposed. Hidden guns or constricted terrain could deny the tanks the approach they need. Equipment creates tactical options, while employment and mutual support decide whether those options produce results.
