I'm thinking about it - I would need to learn a lot of skills though. But relic sure isnt doing it
Can you point me in the right direction?

Anyway I believe the aoe profiles can be adjusted so that the splash damage is higher than currently but the chance to completely wipe a squad is lowered. The result is more consistent performance from aoe weapons and allows the opponent to react better because the output is more consistent.
This line of thought was brought up many times with other issues for example tank vs infantry combat where the main cannon damage would be reduced across the board vs infantry and the tank MGs buffed up to compensate which gives the tank more constant and manageable damage output vs infantry making it easier for players to judge when to pull their infantry out.
