Probably, seems like an accurate assumption.

I never knew that that various green/heavy cover has different modifiers, you think there'd be more written about that. I wonder if light cover is the same way

Maybe, but don't forget light cover is omnidirectional in most cases. I always thought a barrel or a pile of boxes was better than a wood fence.

It does seem like light cover is multidirectional in cases of piled obstructions. I'm not sure omnidirectional is an accurate term. In any case wooden fences appear to give good cover, but only when fired at from across them. Does anyone know how the chicken wire fences affect cover? Barbed wire doesn't appear to be a barrier.
