Trench or Foxhole

[Der Kuenstler]

Trenches will give you the best cover in the game - only 9% exposure. The only thing better is to be ducking behind a stone wall which will give you 0% exposure. Foxholes and craters give you 44% exposure - it's actually better to be in a light building or scattered trees than in a foxhole in the open. Panther Bait is right - they draw too much attention - I usually use empty ones (laid out like a platoon is there.) to draw artillery.
