now that the discussion about select fire weapons isn’t coming to an end soon, how about this:
-new squad with poor basic soldiers and recruits, these cant get the 35HP bonus perk and are kinda trash overall, they only get access to bolt action rifles BUT they consist of something like 12 or more active soldiers. So basically trash cannon fodder that swarms the enemy which is great at capturing objectives.
-reduce the amount of active solders in trooper squads (or even lover them) to bring them in line with the assault squads, since select fire weapons are strong.
