The point has been made by other guys. Stpios are very expensive, die quite fast (specially under enemy fire) and you have to use them in the front lines unlike other builder units.
If you provide a replay, there are many pro strategists here willing to help.
Byt the way The most ridiculous thing is the Doctrinal "Conscript repair kit". 2 cons squad repair a heavily damaged ISU in no time.

OKW have extremely potent repairs without giving anything up for it and on top of that, free repair station on cheapest in game tier building unlike all other armies which have no such convinience, you might want to attempt to compare it to USF, but they don't have super heavy armor they could bring up to full health in no time.

-Sturmpio double cost
++Sturmpio minesweeper/repair upgrade and vet stack
++Repair truck

++Self-repair
+Instant crit repair

Sturmpios repair rate should be down by 30/40%
And some people say "you can get 2 engineer for one Sturmpio to balance!!"
First, it's wrong (340 for 2 engineer vs 320)
+ Pioners gain repair speed with mine sweeper (Engineer can't)
So for 2 Pioneers squad you need 5/6 Engineer squad
And it's by FAR less penalizing to have 2 squad of pioneers than 5/6 squads of engineers.
At least Sturmpios can fight
So it needs an huge nerf asap.

is there not an upkeep penalty related to repair speed in this game? I think that worked well in coh1.

Repair upkeep would hurt everything but heavy tanks.
