What bonuses do I get when I flank an enemy? What bonuses does the enemy get when he flanks me? Are they the same?

Flanking negates cover, including "full cover", so it will confer a 20% (partial) or 40% (full) difference in hit chance when there is cover. It confers a higher critical chance - 50% base chance, regardless of whether there is cover or not. It applies both ways (you flanking bad guys, bad guys flanking you).

    That applies to both the player and the enemy (per question)?

    When you flank an enemy with soldier A, does your soldier B also receive a bonus even though they are not personally flanking? I ask because I believe high ground works this way?

  • @Andrew Moylan High Ground just provides a bonus to hit. Flanking is relative for each potential shooter. See here: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/87557/…
