survivor drops

This is something I posted inside another thread. Recently, I was doing a hard level mission, episode 11/3 "Free Them" that was level 17 with my level 14 epic survivors. I was struggling and decided to pop the last two tank traps at once to get the survivor out to help me and eager to get a high level guy added to my crew (maybe not the best idea). Much to my consternation, the survivor was level 10 of 14 (2 star). He promptly got killed, and I failed the mission.
What is the point of dropping these survivors to us if they are so much worse than the ones we have and will only be scrapped when we finish the mission? Is it random? Having a level 10(2 star) drop on a hard level 17 mission seems absurd.

I kept some of the rescued, but retired them as soon as I got someone better.
Thank you for the feedback on the leveling/balancing, looking into it.

@TheMurphy I think this mission requires two survivors with melee weapons only since the shooters draw too many high level walkers to join the 3 tanks. I almost have the proper level 15 level survivors now and will take another crack at it in a couple of days. If it is a pure rescue of a weakling, then it is kind of a bummer since we get no crates as rewards at the end. No?
