I'm not sure if this was intentional, but i kinda like it, because it's a way to compensate missing grass in the distance. If you can hit them even the "submerged" parts (i'm not sure if you can), than i'm okay with it.

but it looks so awkward - i added another photo with two soldiers prone - see how one is "submerged" and the other not? Doesn't look intentionally to me.

I read this in another post, it is intentional and was design to reflect where there was grass and where there was not. So, the soldier you see submerged is currently in grass and the other is not.

That makes sense. Though it looks a bit strange, it's probably the best solution.

It's called the grass layer. Replacement for grass rendering at distance.
Before that layer was implemented in A2, the soldiers were laying down in plain sight, even though they were supposed to be in high grass. The "grass layer" is a compromise, but it still renders camo colors or even ghillie suits pointless at distance.
