Guys ive been trying building tank traps as cover every where my RE is capping it turned out to be really effective cover probably the best. So instead of queing cap orders initially in game i build 2 tank traps in every cap point it gives Green cover in early engagements, and helps to survive kubel supression early in game.

The downside is if you loose the cap point the enemy gets the advantage :(

Yep, I love building a couple tank traps for cover.

Building wire in front of objects is ideal, but trickier than you think. The "volume" of cover is about as large as the wire, so be sure to build it as close to the edge of the cover without building on top of the cover itself.

Maybe TTs should be changed to yellow cover, they shouldn't really be as effective as a brick wall or sandbags :D
They're also good for blocking a certain bridge on Semoskiya.. even for infantry!

well building barb wire takes time along with 2 tank traps, it usually takes same time to cap as 2 tank traps. 1 TT will not give enough cover all squad members. but any way if you build TTs everywhere when ever your RE is doing nothing then it can add to some intersting late game as it will ruin the pathing of vehicles :)
