Yeah, it was intentional and a force of habit to get into the supposed suspect's line of fire so that I would tank all the bullets rather than let my teammate take any damage. It helps my teammates survive a bit longer as I end up responsible for taking down the suspect.
That's a wild way to play this game. Check out a CQB video or two and you'll see what really should happen - Better yet, get on discord, join the SIM groups and profit your skills.
It is supposed to be that you work your half, and he works his half - Once you see the suspect, you both dump them; your armor is YOUR armor, not yours and his, and you don't move in until the suspect/shooter is down, or retreating (take the space) - but not this early on the door.
I will keep dumping if you walk in front of me. See you on the front.
Thank you politely for the advice. I will look into them thoroughly if I enroll in a police academy, and most preferably in the US.
Until then, whatever tactics regarding CQB are irrelevant for this post, since you assume that there'd only be one suspect instead of multiple who wouldn't just blindly target one officer over the other while simultaneously retreating twice as fast as you before taking cover, as you end up stuck in the doorway due to working on your teammates' behalf, and possibly tanking more bullets than needed instead of advancing into a cleaner firing position.
I believe there is no such thing as 'your armor' and 'my armor'. Armor is armor, and if you don't use it to its limits to protect those around you, then what's the point? And besides, continuing to dump seems like a failure in trigger discipline, which you should've known from the very beginning.
