First of, 5x13 = 65. So it would be even less than 4 times as good IF shocks absorbed 1 in 2 bullets. You can't just say 0.13 = 0.1. It does not work that way. HOWEVER, Shocks only absorb 1 in 3 shots. And only of those with a penetration of 1. Shocks only have 1.5 armor. To absorb 1 in 2 shots, you need 2 armor. Chance to do damage on hit is Penetration/armor = 1/1.5 = 0.66. So in reality, Shocks armor modifier is only 2.5 times as good as panzergren accuracy bonus, and 100% worse against anything with more than 1.5 penetration.

It's not a 5 times better modifier. I can't find the exact stats, but unless panzgrenadiers have a received accuracy modifier that is higher than 0.93, it's not 5 times lower that the modifier for shocks.

The 2 more members translate perfectly fine into overall axis superior DPS per model compared to their soviet counterparts.

Against competent opponent who knows how to play?
Superbly wouldn't be the word I'd use.

Also it might have something to do with shocks being purely AI specialists that fight with clubs while pgrens are versatile stock squad.
