Volks are great until you realize that a rifleman squad can just run up to the Volk squad (in any cover) and win the engagement which makes no sense

NO.

My problem has nothing to do with my unit choices at T1.

Yes, I feel like sturmpios are really powerful, especially against non-vet, non-upgraded T1 American units. Nerf them ? That's one option, but I deliberately didn't say that. I posted this to put it out to the community, in case there were other options I hadn't considered. So far, I got :
- "L2P"
- use volley fire and cover
- it's all in your head, riflemen can take sturmpios

Also, my post had nothing to do with middle or late game, or any shortages that OKW might experience in those phases. I specifically mentioned early game; where Americans might have an advantage, and might be able to cripple Axis resources. This is incidentally what others recommend doing to prevent Axis from fielding more powerful units later- "don't let them tech up", "if you let them get that, then you've already lost".

What I'm getting from your reply is this-

OKW early units are powerful in the early game to take and hold resources, to compensate for middle/ late game shortages.
Shortages which would go to pay for other powerful units later. So that OKW pretty much stays powerful through all phases of the game ?

I'm sorry if there's something I'm missing here, but it seems as if you're suggesting that OKW need the sturmpios to be this powerful to ensure OKW dominance throughout the entire game.
