That's not true. Generally larger squads have lower dps and smaller squads have very high or centralized dps. Look no further than the con/gren matchup for an ideal contrast of this.
Grens upgrade means that they could lose 3/4 models and retain the majority of their DPS which helps offset the otherwise dramatic drop in power per model lost while cons upgrade makes them more effective at holding ground and dying.
Yes that is true for grens and cons. Con you please explain how that is the same case for gren v rifles/ gren v penals.
All Elite 4 man squads have insane damage output while the same but larger squads generally have more utility packed in to flesh out their value to prevent overbearing power
That is so untrue.
Did you forget that paras have larger squads and has 2 lmg's.
Did you also forget AB guards have larger squads and 3 lmg's
or para's, rangers, shcoks have both larger squad size, better defense per model and higher dps at close range compared to their axis 4 men counterparts(pg's , storms, falls, ir obers).
4 man squads may not have a hard coded advantage but they do have their squishy mess taken into account with designs to offset that weakness. I think the wehr battle phase system could be tweaked to help with the issues late game of small squads but saying there is no advantage to a small squad is absolutely bullshit.
That is also a complete bull statement.
The only compensation to their squishiness is OST has the bat shit OP MG42 or the P4(both okw and ost) is better than Shermans, T34/76's and Cromwells .
