Cover can always be directional and thus benefit from flanking regardless if anything is actually simulated, since shooting from a direction that the cover does not protect obviously gives benefits.

This can also include features like removing dodge chance, removing counter strike, having different kind of armor values in different directions, etc.

Also, this is not for bonuses that are better described via backstabbing.
