Anyone know anything about how targeting models inside work? I feel like most of the time most of the squad survives with few health. I guess the dmg modifier is the reason, but still feels different than most engagements that are on the "open".
Everything I say now is just guessing.
I think the main reason why open battles feel different comes down to 2 points.
1. On open Ground Soldiers are often more spread out and it is more likely that at the beginning of a fight only one is visible. The Soldier that is the first to be seen is the takes all bullets from the enemy squad, that can bring him low at the beginning of the fight and most likely he dies way earlier than the others.
2. If some Soldiers of a Squad are behind Cover and others aren`t (like Trees), the Soldier that isn`t in Cover takes way more dmg and dies faster than his comrades.
Since this 2 Points doesn`t exist for squads in houses or trenches the engagements against them can feel different
Like I said, I`m just guessing.
