This is exactly why it would be OP. Grenadiers do not lose their base dps with model drops when they are equiped with LMG. Having a 5th men means their main source of DPS last longer thus put them at the same level than Tommy/dual Bren or Riflemen/dual BAR while costing 240 and 60 munition and having superior support units around them and late game superior armor.
Grenadier problem is the high potentiality of 4men squad wipe on the late game. That's a problem damage design in COh2. Grenadiers were 4men squads on COH1 facing 6men squads rifle and squad wipe has never been such an issue, even knight cross holders were 3men squad and single shot squad wipe wasn't that much an issue, it could happen but that was pure bad luck. Here on COh2, units have been design for that purpose, like the brumbar, churchill Avre or Sturmtiger...

Grenadier do not need to be versatile, versatility is on T1 and T2 units combined arms.

What about assigning a 5th man in form of an officer to the squad as an upgrade like the LMG42 that can be unlocked once T3 is researched for 80 mun? He could maybe add a passive ability to give higher line of sight while being in green cover (you know binaculars and shit) while being armed with a pistol only and of course not receiving andy upgrades like G43 or LMG42.

The high cost will then prevent to make it a no brainer upgrade because Ost is already muni starved and the Luger pistol of the officer won't boost the squads DPS at all. The higher LOS would also help Ost's defensive playstyle.
