trying different CQB tactics

[parappatherappe]

I've tried a number of different things in the tactical progression of the team through the structure, and different methods of entry, and entering and clearing. At first I did all the different types of immediate entry I learned in the 90s in MOUT. And old-school slicing the pie stuff.

Then on Youtube I saw a series on the old S.A. special tasks force using Israeli style limited entries very effectively, and did everything that way, two shooters popping the room visually from each side of the door then popping the hard corners along the strongwall.

Then I saw another video showing a recent killhouse training for the FBI HRT, and they kind of had the point guy come in at a sharp angle, square up to the door to visually clear the immediate threat area, then everyone launched off the threshold explosively and just kind of slid into POD close to the door, something like immediate action with a nod to clearing from the door.

Yesterday on Amazon I saw a documentary on the French RAID and how they use colonnes d'assaut with a ballistic shield up front, and for the first time now I'm really into using the shieldman. It obviously works great for them, the French have an unbelievable record of many raids with extremely little loss of life.

How has your experience been experimenting with CQB tactics in this game, and which approaches do you see as validated or no?
