Effects of killing HQ squads ?

[Pingouin32]

Hey everyone,

I've come to wonder about the purpose of killing HQ squads. In one game, I completely wiped a platoon HQ, but it seems the squads under its command can still get orders from the other player.

Is there a point to hunt and kill HQ squads, since soldiers seem to receive orders even when they're completely alone and out of C2 ?

On Iron mode, you will lose contact with them which makes them very difficult to control.

On other difficulty settings though, all killing the HQ squad does is lower their morale (especially amongst Syrian troops)

Alright, guess I'll switch to iron then. Thanks !
