Ignoring most of the discussion about history.
Isn't long range arty and the squadwiping potential of certain units the exact thing that allies kinda need to rely on thanks to a lack of effective general purpose infantry in the lategame?
There are airbornes but that is commander specific and only available for USF.
Same with regards to allied AT infantry or the lack thereof.
I see this squad wiping things as a direct consequence of poor overall design. Allied strong early, axis late. And arty wiping squads a way to try and lessen the snowballing effect of the axis factions.
It sucks but it is the result of more underlying problem with faction design.
