They actually got a huge buff. The new Vet 5 ability they get gives them a 43% increase in the ROF of their shreks and Kar98ks.
If only this were true?
They are essentially just filler for your army. Flares are helpful as well.
It really doesn't help OKW lacks any sort of MP dump in the form of support weapons or tanks resulting in the super huge float which encourages people to just pump out buttloads of infantry but only ever get 1 tank.
It's been said before, OKW needs something to bridge the gap between the lights and the heavies.
Because the Problem wasnt their ability to take out tanks Late Mid game but to shut them down early game. While being backed up by Obers to kill all the Handheld AT Counters, While getting Vet 5 and being fully immune. Then wait for the Panther for the ultimate LOL.
I could care less about Vet 5 DPS late game if they are bleeding MP white and getting their heads kicked in by AI infantry for once.
Pfuse, Falls and JLI didnt add to the cost effectivness because they lack the .7 inc acc modifier.
So I am glad Volks arent going to be useless. But I am also glad they will be bled for being stupid.
