Out of all the G43 rifles that we have in this game, I think the one of grens sticks out as the only true lackluster and underwhelming one. Grens are too fragile for being able to really charge in, and not to mention that many allied squads are strong CQC units, so that doesnt favor this upgrade too. But what makes this upgrade even more niche is Panzergrenadiers. Since Pgrens are in t0, they arrive only a tiny bit later than grens, and both the stg44 and the G43 version of Pgrens makes everything enormously better than G43 grens at any range and any situation. To me personally it makes absolutely no sense to get G43 over LMG42 on grens at the current state.
The combination of grens being fragile and their G43 performing horribly vs any sort of cover leaves little to no room to use this upgrade effectively, so what I would do is
Grenadier G43 accuracy against cover from 0.5 to 0.7
0.7 is just a value that I would start with testing... it might go down or up.
Turning the Gren G43 into a weaker version of the Ober Stg44 is exactly what would make this upgrade stick out as an attractive choice in certain situations imo. It would give Ostheer an easier time to deal with urban maps or massive sandbag play as they dont have an incendiary grenade like OKW.
It should not be problematic as
- it should still perform way worse on long range than the lmg42, even in a cover fight
- it should still be noticeably worse than Panzergrenadier performance
- it does not really increase the chance to get wipes on retreat more easily
- it has no impact on point blank range.. the only range where the current gren G43 is nasty
- it gives more intent to engage in cover fights
- it has no impact outside of cover and doesnt increase standard dps or gren survivability, hence reckless plays or blobbing should not benefit much from this change
