I go first and get max score using undersized teams to win when I can so it doesn't matter to me.
The rest of u should consider the doing your best strategy...
If you can kill it with 2 why use 5? Sure 5 is safer and if you only need 50 to win but it hurts you in the ranking vs peers if u going for top 200.
It's never beneficial to score less points because your going second and only need 40 points for a win so u dont try to get your max. That's just a bad decision.
If you know your 2 can kill 5 that is fine. What if your 2 vs 5 is a 50/50 chance? Do you up it to 3 vs 5 then? What if the 3vs5 is a 75/25 chance? Do you up it to 4 then? At what point do you decide a 10% chance of losing the round is worth the extra 4 points for undersizing? At what point does that extra 4 points become worth risking losing 1000 points for losing the round in those close matches?
So long as you know you will win the round, use all the undersize squads you want for those bonus points. Or conversely if you know you are going to lose the round complete all the quests you can for the bonus quest points. A lot of matches are one or the other of these. For these matches there is nothing to be gained by any advantage in information.
Then there are the matches that are close - these matches its more important to win the round than gain a few extra points or complete an extra quest - because that 1000 point gain for winning is far more significant in global rankings than anything else. These are the matches when that extra information can be helpful in determing whether that 3vs5 75/25 risk is worth taking or not. The number of close matches you have vs the number of lopsided matches you have is what determines whether the advantage of extra knowledge is neglible in value or high in value.
