Or you can look at it this way:

You still have basic infantry that scales well, but isn't independent of other squads(volks theme fulfilled early game).

You have a cost which prevents spam and encourages you to actually use supporting units in all stages of the game, I gave random number for the cost, but the main idea is to increase it enough to make volkspam only builds still an option, but not a no brainer choice introducing basically something they lack-a disadvantage.

You have a unit that scales thanks to upgrades(both AT and AI, so your point about them being "remotely useful" past 5 mins is completely moot), making it live up to the cost and be more independent in mid/late game. God forbid you have to actually manage your muni instead of pumping it all mindlessly into shrecks! If USF is able to deck their squads with 120mun per squad while using other upgrades and abilities, so is OKW capable of equipping multiple 90mun upgrades, which already is proven to work with volks+fusiliers builds and there is no problem with it.

So... get a bigger picture.

Volks spam and shreck blob should be discouraged, yet all I can see in this thread are racing ideas on how to make volkspam even more powerful and independent of other units.

Some people should get a reality grip.

I'll just throw it here:

Volks now cost 280mp-300, no stat buffs.
Then you can have multiple equipment packages.

There, volkspam fixed.

Blobbing and spamming discouraged.
Combined arms encouraged.
You have your flexible volks you strive for so much.

AT package (x1Shrek and AT nade capability for 90 ammo)
AI package (x1LMG34 for 60 ammo)
Assault package (x5 MP40's and incendiary nade capability for 70 ammo). (nades cost 25)
Manpowercost upped from 235 to 240.


= Fixed

I like any USF doctrine that has assault engineers simply because it is frustrating not having mines. I love the M20 mines, but it's such a pigeonholing cost to go LT and make an M20 just for mines.

However, assault engineers are otherwise just allied pioneers. They can defeat unupgraded grens and unvetted volks, but that's about it.
