G43 on Grens still suck balls honestly. Especially with new buffed PPSH for cons.
I mean, balance team either need to just keep G43 only on PGs because they are good on them and give grens different upgrade instead of G43 or stop being afraid of making G43 strong combat wise on grens.
Its funny to see how vet3 G43 grens are loosing to 1 bar vet3 rifles and almost losing to bolstered tommies (without guns), while vet 3 PPSH cons are able to beat vet 2 Obersts.
I think part of it is that the G43 upgrade, while being geared mostly for close-range, is still a fairly "universal" upgrade, in that the squad still has effectiveness at all ranges. Riflemen already have that same design, and due to being more expensive, will pretty much strictly be better than G43 Grens.
In comparison; the PPSH upgrade is strictly a close-range package (and Obers are a long-range focused squad), so PPSH cons being able to beat a "better" squad by taking advantage of their preferred range is fairly logical.
I agree that Gren G43s kind of just need scrapping, and a different design for that upgrade be considered. Honestly; a suggestion someone made that they could become a Light Infantry squad with a single JLI G43 (Or a weaker version, with a lower crit HP%) is possibly worth considering, though I don't know the balance implications of having both a Light Infantry squad and a Sniper. (I'd argue that all factions should have both, or one or the other nondoctrinally, however.)
