I don't understand, you wanted to change it so that troops can only fire at the side that the windows are occupied on. If you face an mg one way how does attacking from different sides of the building hurt the mg in your world?

OP and UP at the same time.

Costs more than panzergrenadiers yet performs fewer roles, given no AT and no pick up weapons, and limited entirely to using munitions abilities.
if you want a Knights-Cross-Holder-esque unit, I suggest a more original idea that uses similar concepts and abilities, not a straight up copy paste.

Or just make the unit Stormtroopers. You don't have to make up entirely different units for each commander. They make these sorts of mistakes in Total War.

Faust heal and sprint on these 'KCH' (which is and always was a terrible name) is just just meh.

Any unit healing itself' especially something so potent as these troops could be is not a good idea imo. I know you argue the case that they are easily wiped when caught on their own but you have to factor in the idea that most of the time they will likely be leading a charge of other infantry whereby they are less likely to be singled out for damage.

I reckon they should have much more specialised abilities. No faust leaving them open to vehicles is fine. They need a downside. I'd replace it with an ability that allows them to singlehandedly destroy unmanned support weapons, I guess the Royal Engineer's destroy cover ability could be used for this and the UI art could be some dynamite or explosive charge stuffed in a MG barrel/ mortar tube etc etc

Generating new content for a video game is not that easy. All of your departments should work on the said content (Gameplay design dept., sound dept., 3D dept etc.) and it means they should stop working on what they've been working on and shift their effort on the new content. As far as I know, all of these "new contents" were created during the actual production time (Vanilla CoH2, WFA, AA, TBF) and the community dug them up from the game files. They just waited and delayed the release time as a marketing strategy (which is cool if done right, keeps people excited and everything).

All I'm saying is, it's not like "Hey guys let's add KCHs". There are a lot of consideration. I would love to see KCHs along with a lot more units (FlAK, Geschützwagen, Hummel, PzIII, Motor Cycle, Hotckiss, etc) but I think this is unlikely. Unless Relic decides to halt their production and dedicate some time and create a new DLC pack worth selling (with a lot of units).
