hahaha.

We'll see if we can give you some more comic fodder. Seriously, it'd be worth it.

Two things we could try, if the first one doesn't work, we add the second option to it.

First Change:

*Reduce T70 range from 40 to 35 (matching panzershrek range).

Reasoning: Good micro means the T70 destroys the shreks before they can shoot.
The panzershrek needs to be fired without moving, and the T70 gets a 50% accuracy penalty if it fires on the move. By matching ranges, the Shrek works like it should: a soft AT solution meant for flanking, especially from cover. The T70 has little choice but to move away form the threat, reducing its effectiveness by 50% while doing so. Threat averted.The T70 will still be very effective against infantry though, so its great for chasing weak shrek squads or vulnerable infantry such as crews.

Second Change:
Lets say that change was not enough. It's still too powerful. Then we can do this (on top of the range):

*Reduce firing rate(modifying cooldown rate and wind down) by about 20%-30%
*Increase damage from 40 to 60

Reasoning: By reducing the firing rate, you can retreat your troops with less damage done (still a victory engagement for the T70) or fire a hasty shrek volley. To compensate for this, we increase the damage 33% so that the shots it does fire, deal a tiny bit more damage (it still doesnt one shot infantry though). This will also increase its effectivenees against light vehicles, for example, it should kill a flamer HT in around 5 shots, instead of 8.
