We can also be sure that Elite/high leadership units won't have any benefit if they're taking a tremendous overwhelming pounding from tanks and artillery and bombing, they'll be hurt just as bad as lower-qual units.
How can we sure about this?

"The psychological effect of such a mass of bombs coming down with all the power of elemental nature upon the fighting troops, especially the infantry, is a factor which must be given serious consideration.
It is immaterial whether such a bomb-carpet catches good troops or bad, they are more or less annihilated" (von Kluge quoted in 'The Struggle for Europe' by Chester Wilmot, page 364)
You quote von Kluge, but this is real life and we are talking about a game

Yes, let's give our pixel troops just a little more love!
[EDIT]
I saw you last test now. Thanks! Low bocages give poor cover; I meant the "real one".
