What about increasing the squad side to 10? Would that increase their survivability enough to matter?
I was planning on having them to be more of a reserves unit. Keep the enemy occupied with the spiders, scorpians, DAs, and pinned with the Pathfinders, and have worry a lot about the Avatar getting close, and have the Banshees fleet into a combat that one of the beforementioned had started. I'm imagining a lot of cover hiding for them, at least for part of the game.
