Well, a chem buggy would probably still kill them simply with its raider ability. An MG squad cannot run away from the gas cloud, if it tries to then it is dead anyway.
It can kill one if they don't use Liang. But that's a 60tib to 30 tib trade off in the early game which is enough to win the first missile easily. Also you have to acknowledge that you're often out levelled and when mg squads are 3-4 above you and you don't have air units it's game over.
Yeah the same can happen with juggernaut etc but every other game ending combo is late game which gives you a chance to have won the missiles before it rolls out, you can't do that with mg squads which are often he first unit out.
