Before posting, it would have been easier to open up Mobhack and actually
have a look at some Mineclearing vehicles. This would have answered your query in just a few seconds.
E.g. see the USA OOB, units #194, 196, 197, 198, 199, 616, 653, 685, or USSR OOB - e.g #491, 492 etc.
Easily found by selecting File-> Database Check Utilities, then pressing the Unit Checks button, and then selecting unit class 36 in the
Find Units tab, or entering mine into the search box if you did not know the class number.
Compare and contrast the
front HEAT armour of these units with the standard gun versions.
