yacinator Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 What does the term "keyholed" mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 A unit that is keyholed mean it is deployed in a position that gives it LOS to only a certain spot on the map, such as a bridge or crossroad. Likewise, it can only be seen by an enemy unit that moves onto that spot. Its a good way to keep your onboard guns alive, and to prevent them from firing on the flamethrower it spotted 2km away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Bolt Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 My guess: Setting back fairly concealed with a narrow field of fire and that narrow field is the only way the enemy can return fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseltaylor Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You can practice this at home : ) You look through the keyhole and see a narrow field of view going as far as you can see. Now go 5ft from the other side of the door and see how much you can see through the keyhole!! Kingfisher should have added that you need to give cover arc orders and ranges also - keyholing does not stop your unit firing at silly targets!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Amen - and don't forget to use a shortened cover arc to let the cheap-lure units pass through the LOF unharmed, then expand it in a turn or two to nail the really meaty stuff.
