If they blob - use MGs
CQC infantry can be devastating to them, their G43s are a weaker version of the OST G43s
Do not get tangled down in shootouts between cover to cover. These are environments where they exceed in part due to that +40% accuracy at vet II.

Penal/sniper. Fighting at rangr/from cover. Elite infantry and/or Soviet team weapon will hurt them pretty good... There is no 1 solution but adjusting you strategy that is required.

so use penals if u have problems, they cost less too

they literally are penals with better close range but worse long range dps
Isn't it the other way around?

It's more that long range favors PF less then close range against peniles. The G43s give PFs a sizable edge in close quarters. At long range, they are fairly close in dps though vet 3 peniles should win vs vet 5 G43 PFs At anything above ~15 range.
As for the cost, you really do have to factor in the G43 upgrade munitions since without it the PFs dont even come close to peniles.

I don't see how stg volks shouldn't be able to pick up a dropped weapon but g43 fussies can
Edit: is it a bug that it doesn't? Cause i think you can get both upgrades again which isn't supposed to happen

G43 PF cost 270+25=295 manpower +80 munition so they are more expensive.
They also have higher tech cost and come later.

Penals are great counter to PF IF you know your opponent is going to go PF. But I think OPs case its about OP going for normal 3-4 cons build and then when he has 2-3 out he figures out that opponent has gone full blown PF as mainline. So in that case I wouldn't go penals anymore as it would require tech etc.
So I think best response is to not make any more cons. Depending on the rankings of the players in lower rank games you can just save MP and start producing shocks or guards when you hit the CP and then just win blob vs blob wars against PFs with those as game progresses. If its a higher ranked game then maybe get maxim or two and then make a guard or two after going for t70. I really don't play SOV but Im thinking this from OKW POV what would be most annoying to face after going all fusi.
Honestly I think SVT cons are also great answer to PF depending on your skill if you keep trading effectively.

If you have opened with conscripts, get a doctrine with Shock troops. A maxim could work here since Panzerfussies are the one unit which maxims are OK against. A build like con-con-con-engie-maxim-molotovs-Shocks-T70 works decently against it. Get a load of mines and sandbags out on the field though because once the G43s start coming your Conscripts will start bleeding hard.

Use this mp edge to transition into other units. Like maxims (always remember to bait them into your arc of fire). Shocks can win against them unless they blob, go for them if you see sloppy play to try to get some wipes and break parity. Guards can be used to blunt frontal assaults long as they have cons to soak up damage for them.
Pfuss paired with a flaktrak are nightmare because with it they can render your entire infantry composition useless. Keep that in mind and get a zis that can be used to add more pressure in infatry fights.
If you have double fuel go for a T34. If not, you can go for the always usefull T79 into Su85 to deal with their P4 and Tiger.

The g43 upgrade should take up both weapon slots imo. Other than that i don't think there's anything wrong with fusiliers
I don't see how stg volks shouldn't be able to pick up a dropped weapon but g43 fussies can

I believe its a bug, I saw it in the winter patch bug list where if shreck upgrades lose a shreck they can then get the G43 upgrade on top.
