It has been discussed in the past.

Here's my take.  Caveat:  A LOT of people disagree with me.  YMMV.

Suppression models two things as far as I'm concerned.  First is the
natural reflex to hide when folks shoot at you, second is the
common-sense piece of good tactics to find cover when rounds start
coming a bit too close.  Because suppression on occurs when fire is
"almost" effective, to me it is primarily the latter.  So people who
aren't suppressed aren't taking cover.

Simple solution:  All minor successes which would impose only a
suppression are resolved as major successes which inflict casualties.
Major successes have their casualties doubled before armor is rolled.
