Five levels of veterancy is what makes volks so problematic. Combined with how AT weapons confer a great deal of XP, often ramping up that XP gain, an extremely cheap unit can became a highly vetted powerhouse rather quickly.

Gib Volks more AI (rifle damage from 10 to 12), redesign the shreck into a PzFaust-like ability*, increase Volks cost to 240 (although it doesn't really matter) and be done with it.
I honestly prefer a snare to the current shreck.
* You buy the shreck upgrade for 90 muni but instead of getting a shreck, Volks get the ability to fire a shreck - for free because you have to buy it for every squad individually.
Same range/cooldown as PzFausts but penetration/damage of shrecks.
The results:
- rifle damage from 10 to 12 basically increases their DPS to a value slightly below Grens
- A-moving Volks blobs (with shrecks) won't work (anymore) against vehicles
- Shrecks basically get less range/higher cooldown compared to bazookas in exchange for 100% accuracy (same as PzFausts) and the ability to snare vehicles
- Volks don't lose a weapon slot

Panzershrecks itself overperforming imo, have you ever seen a axis medium tank destroyed by 1 volley of bazooka? but i have seen panzershreck did many times.

that seems needlessly complicated. Why not just given them a faust ability.

Do you know what the five levels of vet mean? Volks get here and there bonuses, but they are not as good as, for example, vet3 rifleman, vet3 IS or vet3 grens because even hefty numbers like + 60% accuracy mean nothing if the BASE NUMBER is laughable.
Before their nerf, the main ability of volks was sustaining damage, which is very useful for hunting tanks using a single shrek all the while receiving fire from enemy infantry. Of course, that led to blobbing issues, so they received some other bonuses to make up for that loss. Obviously, that seems to not make up for it.

+1 on these suggestions, would like to ad to get more range on the raketten, like the same as pak/zis even when they have cloack.

You people do realize it takes 6 shrecks to kill one medium tank in one volley right?
