I edited my post right before this, expecting such a response from you.
Read the patch notes in this very thread. You know, the ones for the patch we're all discussing.
Isn't that true for all the other 4-man squads? Or even 5 man squads who cluster behind say a single stretch of sandbag... or yellow cover? I've had plenty of games where a 6 man squad gets nuked by a LEFH or walking stuka (especially team weapons like a mortar).
Squad-wipes are only an issue when it's Ostheer bitching about it, because absolutely no other faction in the game uses cover or stands still when firing.
