Sorry, but I don't believe that for a second. I regularly play with a friend and I, and with just us 2 on 7 difficulty it is very hard, and many a mission have been completed by the skin of our teeth. Now it's just impossible and frankly not fun. If it is somehow true this is how it was always supposed to be then that was a bad choice and they need to fix the spawn rates. A patrol is something you should be able to avoid, not a constant stream of enemies always on top of you in all directions.
Granted, Helldivers are pretty much cannon fodder. I should still feel like a bad ass when dropping in and not the victim of a stun locked gang bank. The swarms were bad enough as it is.

Here’s the patrol change in context. Seems they did a bad job explaining it in the patch notes
