replyWhat does "Combat system updates: System reverted to COH infantry combat." mean?

From playing the beta and reading the forums, I think it means this:
In original CoH, with your typical 5-man squad, taking damage would (more often than not) kill squad members at fairly regular intervals, allowing time for a depleted squad (down to 2-3 men) to get out of battle and retreat. During the CoH:OF beta and until this patch, they changed it so that the individual squad members would last longer but their overall health might be lower, so that you might have all 5 remaining squad members who were an inch from death and one grenade or shell might kill them all at once while retreating. This also affected reinforcing and healing, since you can more easily reinforce a squad with new members, opposed to healing the ones still alive which is harder.
Sorry if that is a bit confusing, but I can't think of a better way to word it.
