But if sturmpioneers, which are already targeted as they are known to be a little fragile, by pretty much everything they come on contact with are now being further targeted because they are the only mobile form of infantry-based AT on top of repairing, laying mines, sweeping mines and building other defenses. Sturmpioneer vet could potentially now rise extremely fast making them to get to vet 3 much faster, assuming that they don't get wiped in the process. Volks will now have next to no utility later in the game and on more open maps their new, shiny MP40s/44s will be largely useless since they won't be able to close the distance or even have the upgrade since you have a lot more to spend your already rationed munitions on like sturmpioneer schreck and sweeper since you now need both.
1. i dont need the sp to be a shrek platform. volks can be either mp44 users or an at platform not both
2. utility is fine but right now the okw needs infantry that can holds its own against the soviets and usf.
3. mp44 do as much damage as a volks kar on long range and most maps favour short range combat.
