The Shreckblob was a result of Panzershrecks being able to snipe infantry and squads getting a single panzershreck, which meant 80% of their anti-infantry power survived. They were also evenly distributed throughout the blob, so you couldn't focus down the AT squad then send in the tanks to fight the AI squads.
Panzerfusilier shrecks come in pairs, so you'll have to concentrate your AT on one or two squads which can then be dealt with much like you deal with AT PGrens or REs.
Furthermore, since AT weapons were changed to deal next to no damage to infantry, even giving shrecks back to Volks wouldn't be as strong now. There's a reason you don't see bazookas on Riflemen any more.

Invised some posts for being offtopic and 1 for quoting it.
@OP It could be OP, but Pgrens with screcks can have sprint as well currently. Ofc those are 4 man.
Panzerfusiliers have been adjusted to better reflect their performance as a six man squad that can deal with a variety of situations when upgraded.
Population from 7 to 8
G43 sight bonus from 1.5 to 1.2
Veterancy 4 accuracy bonus removed.
Veterancy 4 now provides 1.15 capture and decapture rate

Panzerfusiliers should have been given a 2 Panzerbuchse upgrade instead of Shrecks.

I think it's true what you say,but imo there's two things that you neglect to add
1: pgrens are 340mp and 9? Pop cap, they are not easy to horde and easy to drain. Pfuz have 5 levels of vet and are 250mp, 7pop? Much easier to blob.
2: I would argue Zooks were never good for blobs,you always lacked the pen and extra alpha "volley" damage from a old volk blob popping your Sherman despite them having faster reload. A PIV would always deflect enough shots to escape.
Shrek snipes happened but I think you're looking back with foggy memory, you would get a few snipes but it was far from a reliable thing. I would say it was the old vet 5 terminator volk vet that made them bulletproof that was the issue.
Anyone know how pf vet stacks up? Where's vipper when you need him.

Yeah pgren blobbing is at the very least fairly different from potential pfusi blobbing. That said, we're trying out a cost increase for pfusis in general (I dont even know why they were 250 tbh, I think basically all of us wanted them at 270-290 still).
And yeah, pfusis had their vet 4 and 5 combat bonuses removed, compared to the guide (as pointed out by elchino). Again, its basically 3 levels of combat vet with a little utility for 4 and 5.
Oh, I *think* we're also removing vet 5 sprint from pfusis.

the biggest problem is IMO 2 things:
cp0 snares removing one of okws primal weaknesses in the early game, which will pretty much make m3 builds obsolete and give okw even more snowball power.
Call in tiger which will make mech techbypass builds even more popular then they are currently since tiger is even more flexible then command panther
