Edit: Added you, let's play.

Can we have a replay please?

Wow, don't rush to far.
I think German support teams are less resilient because they are more effective. In general.
MG42, since is fixed now, can stop infantry in its arc, quickly pinning upon a successful suppression, having huge arc of fire and requiring less micro in general than Maxim. PaK is simply far better than ZiS in killing tanks and Mortar shoots twice as fast. I think is all because of the Soviets team 6 men squads. The issue is really with Grenadiers but maybe you shouldn't use Grenadiers to clear Soviet support weapon?
I personally use mortars as they are simply outstanding in performance. As said before increasing resilience of German support teams would only create problems rather then fixing them (assuming there is a problem as only few people thinks this way). For example you would have to change and nerf every German support team to make up for better survivalibity.
I personally don't have problems with Ost teams being smaller size as they make up for it in their effectiveness.

BTW Isn't reinforce cost higher due to the fact that you have 4 entities in the squad?

I do agree ninja PPSH nerf hurts certain commanders a lot and once useful and never overpowered upgrade is now somehow lacking.

Regarding OP post. I was kind of expecting this would happened. Especially when you try to fight of a blob of PGs with your T-34/76.
You can improve your chances by trying to stop the unit right before shoot this way you will not get penalty but this requires a bit of practice and counting (that's what I do one Mississippi, two Mississippi etc )
Sadly this is the drawback of Soviet Industry nerf and sadly Ostwind (main Ost anti infantry shock unit) hasn't been affected by this change at all.
Sometimes you wonder.
Anyway try to get a Maxim and learn how to control enemy units with it.

The problem is however that Maxim can still be rifle naded in the face. You don't have to be in close proximity to do so. 4 man Maxim will be more vulnerable than 4 man MG42. And what about German mortar?
