Can you please increase squad sizes to a minimum of 6?

If I remember rightly BF4 / BF1 both had 5 player squads then BFV went back to 4.
I personally wouldn't mind bigger squads but I don't think they will change BF2042 squad sizes at this stage
@RayD_O1 Battlefield 2 way back in 2005 had 6 man squads and in my test tech and beta feedback I recommended 8-10 man squads due to having 128 players. Larger squads would make teamwork much easier because with the current system we can't spawn on our squadmate if someone is under fire, or if a bird flies in their general direction 200 meters away ;-) so it artificially breaks up squads when squadmates have to spawn on a flag that is likely 150-200+ meters away. And as you said BF4 and BF1 had 5 man squads and all 3 of those games had better squad cohesion as a result.
"we can't spawn on our squadmate if someone is under fire, or if a bird flies in their general direction 200 meters away ;-)"
This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So so broke.
On discord with someone and they have made it to a good position asking me to spawn on them and the game blocks me as a sniper on the other side of a mountain is firing.
OR spawn on squad mate and insta death as they are been beamed by 20 infantry and a tank.
They need to remove this completely. It doesn't work and its been broken since day one.

What MoHW did was tell you in the UI that your teammate was trying to spawn on you so you can get into cover so he could spawn. MoHW's system seemed to have been much smarter regarding what "under fire" was than BF4-2142's overly sensitive system.
