What is the effect of even a small amount of cover?

Explanation:
Even a small amount of cover creates concealment that blocks a direct line of sight. When you can’t see the target well enough to aim directly, you rely on indirect fire—artillery or mortars—that doesn’t require a clear view of the target. So the presence of any cover shifts engagement from direct firing to indirect firing, since you can’t effectively engage someone behind cover with direct shots. Observation-only isn’t the automatic result here because indirect fire can still reach concealed targets without a direct line of sight.
