Here it doesn't matter who beats who, but the fact remains that the T-34/76 costs more than the Command Panther. This wasn't a question of 'Who is better', it was a question of which infantry costs the most.
No, T34/76 still costs 100 fuel. You are not taking the building to the field and using it to fight directly, so you do not count building cost. Tiering is a timing limitation, not indicator of strength.
So, you're wrong.
Tiger Ace is a tank and Conscripts have no AT weapons. So no, they shouldn't.
Make that 3 ATGs then. TA still wins here despite being cheaper.
Conspiracy I say!
Are you trying to tell me that you have problems beating Osttruppen with Shocks? Or is the point here that Osttrupen have a higher Anti infantry power than Shocks? Where did you take the assumption from that I think it's bad balance? Can you refute that Penals outdps Obers in ranges lower than 10? No? Then we simply leave the statement like it is, Penals outdps Obers at ranges under ten, and Osttruppen outdps shocktroopers at ranges over 15. Let people form their own opinion about it. The statement is still unrefuted.
Since the general idea of weapon profiles and effective ranges is something that is beyond your comprehension, let me stop acting like I'm talking to someone who knows his shit and switch for a moment for a "I'm talking with an idiot" mode:
There are different types of small arms weapons in the CoH2.
Some small arms are good at close range, some are good at long range, some are good at all ranges.
Obers by default are long range infantry, they excel at long range.
Penals by default are short to mid range infantry, they excel at short to mid range.
If you get them into their effective range, they will have an edge if they haven't lose 2 men on approach because obers excel at long range, perhaps you should not keep shooting at that cache and turn around earlier.

And then you add (120x2) to that and end up with 590. Do the same with Obers and you end up with 580. Of course it was no surprise that you didnt factor OKWs munition income in.
Ober LMG costs 60.
Substracting paras opportunity cost and focusing on the combat effectiveness cost we have:
~350+240(assuming 1mun=2mp) vs 400+120.
590>520.
