Maybe you're just bad at playing the game. The 50 cal mows down infantry like butter. Tank shells were never designed to take out infantry anyway, and unless they are anti-personnel, they are usually not that effective except to scare the living daylights out of them and make them run for cover. That's why real armies usually have infantry closely accompany armored tanks into a battle.
It's a great game, but like you said it's not perfect. The Sniper unit is nearly useless because the zoom is too small and the gun too underpowered, and the Special Forces class is a juggernaut that can take on almost infantry and ground vehicles alike. Another niggling detail is that the air units seem way too survivable. A direct hit with a tank shell should not leave a combat helicopter able to hobble home and repair. I would have loved to have seen more realistic vehicular damage that actually affect the performance of the vehicle. A direct hit to a Humvee's front wheels should either disable it or dramatically affect its speed and controllability. A shot to the real rotor of an Apache should send it careening out of control.
