To construct on your opinions:
I'm not gonna comment on infantry, since I've seen better changes for those.
Kubelwagen:
Without capping it's crap, and for 15 ammo to spend on supression, no'one is going to use it.
Flak halftrack:
Good change
Jagdpanzer IV:
I like those Idea's
Panzer IV:
If you make it 150 fuel it need to get some penetration buff, since it cost more than a T34/85 and Ez8.
Panther Tank:
200 fuel is justified.
King Tiger:
Wouldn't change it, but would give it a 14 cp requirement to it.
Jagdtiger: 300 fuel would be enough for the unit, it would be justified to reduce it's frontal armor to 475. Rest of the changes me likey.

Is it considered sinful when axis TD have more then 0% to bounce of anything that isn't IS-2?

Wow. Apparently, you want to modify the chart statistics. Which is good, but the idea that they will look completely opposite from what they are now, I mean allied wins skyhigh, Axis wins quite rare, does not represent a solution. Because that will happen if what you wrote here would be implemented.Major nerfs are only the reduction in starting manpower and the Shreck removal. Fuel costs increases mostly just make the tanks cost what they should. And there are a few buffs too.
Honestly, I was reluctant to remove Panzershrecks from Volks. I thought about giving the upgrade to Sturmpioneers, then thought about giving it to Obersoldaten. Didn't think either would work honestly. I think it's best just to get rid of the thing and then reevaluate. Let the Raketenwerfer and the Puma get some use.
Edit - You know you've done something right when one guy's complaining that you've nerfed the OKW to the ground and the next is complaining the Jagdpanzer IV got overbuffed.

2. Volks no AI upgrade, give them something when removing schrecks. If volks have no schrecks, who has them now?
3. P4 costing more than T34/85 & EZ8 while being worse
4. Panther costs increased for no reason what so ever, if you want to delay it, do it by teching (e.g. all 3 trucks need to be deployed)
5. KT armor would make it too strong, it still needs to be countered by AT guns
6. JP4 would go through armour like a knife through warm butter, no reason for those changes. You have a panther to counter heavy armour.
7. What's the point of the Kübelwagen now???
8. Sturmtiger fuel increased for no reason

Well, to put it in a nutshell, I disagree with vehicle buffs you proposed if they come with such a fuel price.
In my opinion shrecks should be removed from volks only if another unit will be created, "tank hunters" - 4 models, costs only mp (price is debatable), comes with a shreck included and costs 90 amo if you want to give them another one.
Otherwise these "remove shrecks from volks" ideas - suported by an important part of comunity - are wrong in my view, but that's just my opinion. Relic did some changes based on comunity feedback and look where we are now. It's clear for me that the most vocal high level comunity members don't have a clue about balance or the way OKW works.
Well we just might let balance in the hands of Katitof, he will make the best of it. Oh, the horror!

on topic.
with the schrecks gone.. you expect okw to fight tanks with roketans lol? gl with that.
Also the feul increases can be mitigated easily with feul drops or caches.(team games logic ofc)

Still, most of these changes make no sense.

While Allied has weaker tanks armor and Axis has very powerful shrecks
Is that Balance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shrecks damage should be nerfed to 80 and also it's accuracy from far range should be nerfed as well, and let Relic lower it's cost to like 70 no problem.
