Defense in Squad Battles

[SnowBlue]

I am curious as to how you would defend in squad battles. I was writing a long opinion on it, but realized that I did not really know what I was talking about so deleted it. Basically I am just not sure about how to defend. For starters unlike in PzC a defeated defender usually takes massive losses making them less useful after they were assaulted. Other aspects such as pinning an enemy at long range is good but will suffer from reduced weapon effectiveness when they get closer.
