Cons:

Unlocks the 'Trip Wire Flares' ability
+40% accuracy, +25% molotov range
-20% weapon cooldown, -23% received accuracy, -25% AT grenade recharge

Grenadiers:
Unlocks the 'Field First Aid' ability
+40% accuracy, +25% Riflegrenade range
-20% cooldown, -25% recharge time for Panzerfaust, -23% received accuracy

The reason why people say con's are bad is because A: People love to blob and refuse to use good unit positioning B: People don't use sand bags, and C: People don't understand what "bad" is.

What con's need is the Molotov to be better, outside of that they are fine. Could the Con PPsh be better to? Sure, I would enjoy it if it increased mid range DPS more.

The AT grenade on con's isn't bad by any margin either, it "fires" a lot faster than the Pfaust, although it could use a little bit more pen.

Speaking 1v1, the PIV would be fine if it was not for the meta, since you still get only one at 7-8cps, where it will have very limited impact, and then at 10 cps the 85s hit at roughly the same price, and they are individually stronger than the PIV, and outclass it in practical gameplay terms since they come in tandem and with mark target. The IS-2 pretty much walks all over even 2 PIVs, or a PIV and a StuG.
Against USF, PIV builds are semi-viable, but Easy-8s and M10s are still far more cost-effective. Against competent opponents I have never not regretted building a PIV.
