Hence the "I dont know if...."
I dont know how WaW did it - that game have never interested me much
Historically, however, while artillery fire was not an effective way of clearing mines and other obstacles, the 500 kilo charge dropped by the B IV proved itself capable of the job. Whether it can be modelled in the game, I dont know. It would obviously require something beyond the charge itself (coding, class, whatever).
But now that the democharge is included in the game, it would be nice to use a couple of slots in the OOB for the B IV ( 500 kg charge, 1193 made) and the Goliath (7579 made both E-motor and V-motor, 60 and 75 kg charge). There were a couple more (B I and B II, Springer), but they could be representede by the B IV if needed).
