No to make PG more cost affective and G43 on them a better option....
On PG, it's a downgrade in all situations. On Grens, it's an upgrade in all situations.

So are LMG42s though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, it's not.

Better at every range.

It says "Patch version: 23 June 2015", not sure if that refers to the game or something related to their website, but is coh2-stats even up to date anymore?

No, it's outdated. But they haven't changed gren kar98s or g43s since then, so it's accurate. Used this site because the graphs are a little better than the updated site, you can check that they are the same if you want.

because they fire on the move, right? G43's on grens are still worth it imo, gives you a bit more of a mobile combat than the lmg42

cuz lmg's where the way to go since forever, and g43's need you to change playstyle a bit
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

That's too bad, I only knew of this one. Which alternative site are you using instead?

PGs are cost-effective already, and I'd prefer keeping a good AI unit without a necessary upgrade in their repertoire as is.

part of the problem is the fact that the panzergrenadier are already using assault rifles. Semi-auto rifle realistically isn't going to be an improvement.
Guess it a matter of preference, I would rather have them cheaper with a weapon upgrade...Another idea would be to allow Pioneer upgrade with g43 (mutally exclusive with flamers/swippers) instead of PGs...

And the DPS charts from Relic's attribute editor states that these things are hardly more than a slight improvement/side-grade on a unit with very good weapons. The only place where the G43 performs more effectively is the 30-35 mark.

What about on the move?
The stg44 has much shorter bursts when moving, which will significantly reduce damageoutput.

I don't find them very useful, even though I have a soft spot for them and attempt to use them from time to time.
One, long range weapons, so mg42, are superior for a variety of reasons in coh, two, the weapon is really not that great.
And then, instead of fighting allied infantry at long range which is axis comfort zone, you get a weapon which is effective at ranges where grens have no staying power and will simply be destroyed by anything but cons. The way I see it you're turning your grens into makeshift riflemen, except infinitely worse. Close range is not the place for a fragile 4 man squad, and I think that by choosing this upgrade you're giving up their strong suit.
