Is this purely to create bigger companies to show poorer command and control?
see Mobhack help, weapons tab section, for weapon class 1 in weapon slot 1. A section with more men hits harder (especially as range decreases), but suppressing it only takes the one firer.

Large sections for the 39 Polish covers the WW1 style of organisation with a few large sections to a platoon, deployed close together. They change to a more modern platoon organisation later on.
