I think reducing the range on rifle nades while suppressed would be a fair trade

+1, suppressed units shouldn't be able to fire rifles..

...or throw molotovs...or grenades....

Scripts with molotovs destroy mg42 i see no reason why grens with riflenade cannot do the same.
And i see no reason in your suggestion to use very frail support weapons to counter a cheap maxim.

It does. Build some german mortars and find out for yourself.

I dont base my strategy on luck.

I dont base my strategy on luck. and the maxim is not the same as a mg42. Riflenades nades need to stay to prevent maxim spam from taking the entire map.

I dont think people want to understand that this ability is one of the few counters to maxims. removing it will greatly upset early game balance

No, it will just upset the early game balance for you, because you refuse to use mortars.

The german mortar fires fast and fires accurately enough to counter maxims.

PS: Also snipers.

Half the german T1 units counter the maxim. Use them.

Because flanking 60 degree cone is hard.

... maxims like mg42 are meant to be in the back not in the front so thats why it gets riflenaded.

Ever done this with a Molotov because I never have. Notice how I wasn't even the arc of the maxim and there for not suppressed and yet I squad wiped it with 1 rifle grenade. Granted the men won't normally stack like that but even so. This is the issue I have with the rifle grenade. Range is too good and does too much damage. If the range was reduced while suppressed like many have suggested, it wouldn't have made any difference in that situation.
