I believe something that would help the game, and new players, is a 'Virtual Field Commander" The virtual field commander has a set of simple tactics it deploys.
To deploy these tactics, behind the scenes it creates a set of virtual squads of up to 6 players each. For instance, there could be a squad of four players, and two free blueberries. Behind the scenes, it would consider them all one command unit. It would then drop either a capture order, or a defend order on a point that only those six players could see, and they get bonus points while in that area just like a normal squad order.
It will create three virtual squads, 6, 6 and 4. The 4 man vsquad consists of the lowest non-squaded mu members of the team, it would then tell them to capture, and then defend, the home point. (this squad has a 50% chance having its orders swapped with the next squad)
The next vsquad is counting up the next 6 players (or counting down, second squad + filler if two squads on same team) and tells them to capture the next closer point and defend it.
The final vsquad consists of the highest mu squad + highest mu players on the team (filler). It will want them to capture the central point and defend it.
If there is heavy fighting at a point, it will bring in the highest available mu squad to reinforce (via defend order) the contested point.
This is mostly to handhold blueberries, but I think it will have a great impact on the quality of play.

However, in all practicality, I don't see it making much of a difference. It's the choices of each individual that determine the outcome of the match, regardless of what you tell them to do.
They aren't forced into squads. That's all behind the scenes. The virtual commander sends individual orders to each player on the team, however for simplicity, it sends orders in command groups only it sees.
Example:
I'm running solo, and I see a Blue capture order on A. In the upper right it would say something like, Field Command: Capture designated target. I'm not forced into a squad, i'm simply picked to get the order.
Example B:
I'm in a squad, I have a rally out when a capture order appears, in a different color (Gold?).
In the upper right :
Squad: Rally at designated Location
Field Command: Capture Designated Point
