I'm not saying 12 people should normally be able to beat a platoon, but with skill and organization, they should atleast pose a challenge to 1/2 a platoon.
Add in actually defensible bases, which should require at the minimum insanely good tactics, or a 2 to 1 advantage to capture.

Exactly, the respawn rate for both infantry and vehicles favours the zerg outfit. The problems we are talking about are outside of how to use a small squad in combat. Ie a large battle is a collection of small ones anyway.
The problem is when a small outfit does everything right, for example kills the enemy attacking their position at a 5:1 ratio but because of game mechanics still lose a skirmish on paper they should have won. Now I know this ain't gonna change much but its good to discuss.
