Sweet mod! Does this apply to enemies as well?

Strange.. i have quite different vision of this, i'm sure high cover should be HIGH cover and so to give even triple bonus to defence (15 vs 45). Why? Is it very tactical when one doesn't have to bother his head anymore about choosing where to hide when EVERY cover is safe and relieble? A player should always be forced to look for a better cover, not just clicking mouse button at any place on a map. And yes, remember Low cover is NOT just this 20 vs 40 of high one, Low cover already provides the most important thing - it gives protection from FLANKING shots, what else do u need from it?? For "other things" pls follow to - high cover.

thank you for this. cover vanilla is so bad that its best to just insta kill enemy with all out grenades than to use cover.

Cover is actually useful, and this is the key of tactics. I don't want my late game to be somekind of Dps match ,that is boring,thank your mod!

@Tim_ Your cover setting changes definitely change the tactical layer. Much appreciated!

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. It all went well. Love this mod -changed the cover settings from 20/40 to 45/65 myself in this last run, as I like cover being really worth it (and really worth destroying!).

This mod is amazing, and a must have, it makes cover actually useful. This works both ways, and it remains fair, for it while someone is safer in cover, they have to do flanking attacks to increase their chances of hitting the enemy units that also use cover.

This totally gets my thumbs up and favorite, as it makes the game more fair without making anything unbalanced.
