-Added the dynamic cover bonus to all intended entities (ebps). These include: panzer_grenadier, tank_buster, italian_fusiliere, italian_breda30_gunner, italian_gunner, italian_blackshirt, stormtrooper_grenadier, stormtrooper_grenadier_leader, infantry_riflemen_sergeant, airborne_officer, platoon_leader, officer (wm), oberfeldwebel, oberfeldwebel_volk, volkssturm, machine_gunner (wm), machine_gunner_ammo_bearer (wm), machine_gunner_unteroffizier (wm), machine_gunner_officer (wm).
-elite_grenadier1-5 entity weapon accuracy bonuses from heavy_cover increased to 1.15 from 1.05.

New mechanic:
All infantry units will receive the following bonuses when in:

Light Cover - Accuracy 1.025
Heavy Cover - Accuracy 1.05
Garrison Cover - Accuracy 1.1

which changes the dynamic of combat and compensates for the longer weapon cooldown times. The name of the game is now accuracy. Every missed shot counts, but the bonuses should be small enough that cover-whoring shouldn't be any more gamebreaking   then it used to be.

This dynamic will vary--more inexperienced type units will have a slightly lower benefit, while elite, expensive units might have a slightly higher one. The paramiters are finite; the stats won't deviate by more then .1 in either direction.

I am hesitant to allow any modifiers to occur in Trench cover, since trenches coupled with officer bonuses have already cropped up as a balance-shifting issue in a few test games I've had. MGs might receive some small modifier to being garrisoned in Bunker cover, as well as the cover type the wooden bunker gives (the US faction will hopefully be receiving the Wooden bunker as a building in the future, though I don't know how to make it rotateable on construction--any help would be wonderful).

Next patch, Wehrmacht and British small arms will receive a buff against light and heavy cover, in essence 'nerfing' cover for the US and Panzer Elite factions and tailoring the former two factions to 'from cover' fighting while the other two are more mobile, since cover offers a slightly lower bonus. This change will only likely deviate from current modifiers by 0.1 (10%). Yellow is light cover, green is heavy cover:

WM/CW units: Received accuracy 0.5 / Received damage 0.5, received accuracy 0.5
US/PE units: Received accuracy 0.6 / Received damage 0.5, received accuracy 0.6

Friendly fire will also likely be introduced soon. All small arms currently deal 0.1 damage to friendly units that they hit. Soon, this will (likely) be changed to 1! So watch out when moving troops in front of your own MG.

So if your not adding this duck of doom next patch, when are you adding it?
