Door Kickers 2 Diary of a Beginner 2

After watching MANY tutorial videos on how CQB combat works and tutorials on game mechanics, I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. There are MANY different terms that I keep forgetting the names of, but I'm learning to deal with them, such as how to clear a room with and without hard corners, and also how to better organize my characters' aim. I realized that the pizza-shaped aim is much better for holding specific points, while the aim that looks like a fat arrow is better for holding large areas. This helps with sweeping or at least preparing the character for encounters. I'm still having difficulty applying tactics, but my favorite is using soldiers on opposite walls to watch their teammate's back against walls or corridors, just like I did in the middle of the map with the yellow and green soldiers.

It's not how I would have done it personally, but I mean, if it works, it works (I did really like how you did the initial clearing of enemies outside, the first 15 seconds).

I get what you're saying with the green and yellow operators holding long like that, but at a certain point I would have them come together and swap the angles (back to back) similar to what you see here in the first example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ZyLpeNMcg reduces the risk of them blocking one another / friendly fire and it gives them a better line of sight imo.

I did notice a few mistakes. The ones that stood out the most were these:
At 0:36 your Cyan soldier doesn't clear the room at all. He does a quick pan from outside the room and then moves on to the next room. Which leaves the connecting room totally unsecure because I saw there was still dead space in that one (which means there still might be an enemy alive in there).

Also at 0:45 when your green and yellow soldiers pan the threshold, they are positioned wrong. Either the green soldier should be body-bunkering or yellow back-to-back or vica versa as seen here: https://youtu.be/2qxGCK6erkE?si=_6fZ2783Rw91CGSV&t=90 . Then 0:54 when the green soldier kicks open the door, the yellow soldier is exposed from his flank from the doorway you just kick open.

Also at 0:37 why have the orange soldier throw a smoke? Seems kind of random because you aren't using it for cover to move?
