That’s the whole point of it to begin with. It isn’t meant to be used just because half the bomb timer is gone (not saying you do this, but it was becoming commonly used when not necessary at all). Should be used when the APD is at an obvious disadvantage. 10 cops v 16 civ situations, they’re running RPGs and multiple armored vehicles etc. This rule really just prevents it being over used when it isn’t necessary. Being worse at gunplay/tactics shouldn’t warrant lethals on its own, which had become a reason corporals and such were using it recently.

Yes Caloom I read the post too 

After the civ roundtable a lot of people were under the impression that it was being removed from corporals all together. So I just wanted a clear definite answer for all
