Hmm,

Which part do you mean "in real life" ??

Let's look at Fire Control Orders.

"FireTeam Bravo, 300m, reference green farmhouse, enemy MG team, on my
command, 2 minutes sustained fire, wait"

Here a detachement is formed,

"Fireteam Alpha and scouts, we will move to the left into a position to
assault, prepare to move, Bravo FIRE, Alpha with me MOVE"

The squad leader and the remainder of the squad now move.

This is the formation of a detachment to fire and then the squad moves.

Don't tell me in "real life" the squad leader is going to say to
fireteam Bravo to fire, then wait for a couple of minutes then they stop
and then fire team Alpha fires and take it in turn!?!?! I have NEVER
seen that sort of fire control.

You fire by squad or give fire control orders to a fire team (forming a
detachment in SG).

Let's remember that this is a game and that "real life" isn't portioned
into neat activations.
