Also, irl every single soldier would be pinned down immediately, in the game couple squads has a change to be.
Of corse, there is also the game mechanics of turn based combat that could not be exploited in the real life.
In my opinion the game is fine as it is and would not be so interesting if it would be more realistic in that regard.

Not quite so easy IRL.
Someone on the ambushing side may have get trigger happy, have poor camouflage, or any number of other things that give away the situation. The side being ambushed may have drones or thermal viewers and be fully aware of the ambush.
Also depending on who you're ambushing the situation changes. In many cases they'll break and run, better trained troops will take cover and return fire, in the USMC we're taught to charge the ambush with all weapons blazing (one of the few times everyone uses automatic fire) because your best chance to survive an ambush is to do something unexpected.
