Penal battalions weren't just "cannon fodder". They were often well equipped, much better than your run of the line strelki.
Where did you get this ?

DP Guards are long range infantry...Penals with double Far DPS would still not be long range infantry...

They where also used as canon fodder and not as semi elite infantries. They where even used to walk over minefields.
Don't ask me about the minefields but the officers that sent them...

Conscripts are 20% more expensive than ostturppen and at the same price as grenadiers...

Make Penals start with Mosin rifles and choose between upgrades - Flamer+Satchels(these need to be fixed vs garrisons) for short range assault and SVT-40s+Hold the line ability(buffs to dps and rec acc but the unit cant retreat until ability ends) for long range and give same dps to svt-40 like before Penals nerf.

And perform just like osttruppen, except cons are much worse on long range.
8 con builds have proven already that 40mp cost makes no difference for sov here.
You're trying to change squad that needs nothing more then long range dps boost into a squad that already exists, but would be even worse.
