Coms/maps/expansion/etc.

It took us 3-4 years to get CoH2 into a good place, and we're just now fixing most of the last expansions problems over 2 years after it came out.

Getting CoH3 would likely put us back at square one. In addition, since it would be a new game and appeal to a very wide audience (new game player base > current player base), its likely the community would have very little influence over balance and design decisions. I'd rather work with what we have (and a smaller playerbase) and perfect it instead of jumping from a pretty good game to one that will likely take a while to get to the same level of quality.

I hope they take the blizzard route and just support CoH2 for another ~5 years, with small expansions (similar to SC2's covert ops, co-op stuff, etc.) and other add-ons.

I would love to see COH3 with WW1 template actually.

Close range infantry shooting with guns seems so arcade.

Let's bring new mechanics and welcome to knife fight at close range.

G43s have the best moving accuracy of, I believe, any other weapon in the game. This is very useful, especially if the allied player is going heavy on indirect fire or snipers. Since ostheers t0 has the hmg42, many allied players tend to build to counter those: usually with indirect and sometimes snipers.

So, in many ways it is a very worthwhile upgrade.

LMGs don't work properly on the move, and work terribly when stationary outside of buildings because of the slow turning and not firing.

In fact, G43s are the only viable upgrade for Grenadiers unless you're playing on a map that's just jam packed with garrisons.

From munitions cost to performance, the only advantage LMGs have over G43s is being able to put out solid DPS from a single window, which in the majority of cases isn't as good as having two G43s, and in the coming update, three G43s.

Yes, Grenadiers are stupidly flimsy, and that's a problem that's never been addressed (the spacing "solutions" are a farce), but that's all the more reason for why they really need to be able to fire powerful shots on the move and not lose DPS to LMG setup (not setup-setup, but pseudo-setup related to how the LMG-wielding model turns and prepares to fire, and various pauses it takes constantly).

With Grenadiers, every second counts during a firefight, and G43s allow you to capitalize on those seconds with maximum efficiency while the LMG-wielding Grenadier squads fidget around not firing and bugging out in various ways.
