Simple logic is if you are in field with crops or high grass then you will get some cover as infrantry can lay low eh? but are not invunerable.
AFV'S gain some cover also as the top is only visable but still can recieve hits on the hull.
There are no cheats or tables. just learn by trail and error.

I've attached a terrain characteristics chart from Matrix Games. It's for WAW so I don't know how well, if at all, it applies to WW2 but from experience it seems to conform pretty well. Once again there are no numerical values only terms ranging from Very Poor to Excellent.

Thanks Warmonger. I'd agree that Spww2 conforms largely to Spwaw terrain defense. Btw at first it seems odd that streams and canals are listed as "Good" while (wood) bridges and rivers are "Poor", but it makes sense when you consider that the former are narrow, like trenches, while the latter are either too wide or out in the open to do much good.
