I find that Grens with LMGs handily beat Shocks for cost over the long term in a war of attrition. Shocks cost almost as much as 2 Grens. Sure 2 sets of LMG42s are very expensive, but it's a one time fee in contrast to the constant man power drain of reinforcements.
HMG42s were overnerfed. If they buff HMG42s back a bit, then lmg42s may be toned down. Pretty much every top German player now is going pure Gren spam now.

link0 knows what he is talking about, can't say the same for some people
Basically, what I'm trying to say is, Germans are already a munition starved faction, if your opponent is going fast mg-42s you should be happy, just avoid that one squad unless you can hit it in force, take his cut-offs and camp buildings like there is no tomorrow. Then laugh as your t-34s come and shit all over his grens.
That is true on some maps if your cutoff has a building next to it. But if you just let him sit on your cutoff then you will be really far behind in the teching war. And you can't just play a slow paced backtech for "combined arms" approach like you could do in vcoh because you will get owned by 5-6 minute FHT/AC
