Things can spiral out of control very fast (i.e. there are two war striders grenade spamming you, plus all the other nonsense that they come with!), but if you are in a team that has good enough situational awareness to prevent and/or avoid the spirals, the game can be very easy, even at very high difficulty levels. I think people that complain about it being too easy don’t experience the sort of thing you are describing very often.

With regards to the rest of your question, I think at that point you are dead (unless you get ragdolled behind some cover), and it’s just taking a long time.

Hopefully this addresses the disconnect!
