you honestly expect OKW to fight armored vehicles and early tanks only with the abysmal raketenwerfer until your 135 fuel jagdp4 hits the field (135 fuel with OKW income mind you)
1. The Raketenwerfer is not abysmal.
2. Shrecks and mines are enough to deal with early armored vehicles and you can get a JPIV before any medium tanks hit the field. You can also get a Puma after 7 minutes...
Gib Volks more AI (rifle damage from 10 to 12), redesign the shreck into a PzFaust-like ability*, increase Volks cost to 240 (although it doesn't really matter) and be done with it.
I honestly prefer a snare to the current shreck.
* You buy the shreck upgrade for 90 muni but instead of getting a shreck, Volks get the ability to fire a shreck - for free because you have to buy it for every squad individually.
Same range/cooldown as PzFausts but penetration/damage of shrecks.
The results:
- rifle damage from 10 to 12 basically increases their DPS to a value slightly below Grens
- A-moving Volks blobs (with shrecks) won't work (anymore) against vehicles
- Shrecks basically get less range/higher cooldown compared to bazookas in exchange for 100% accuracy (same as PzFausts) and the ability to snare vehicles
- Volks don't lose a weapon slot
