A SCUD-C CEP is around one kilometer, which means that it can fall anywhere on a typical SPMBT map and there is no way to reproduce that kind of inaccuracy even if one wanted.
Therefore it cannot be done in the game, just as it cannot be used for such purpose in reality.
Pretty much the only kind of such weapons that might fit the game engine, game scope and reality would be something along the lines of some variants of the Iskander and similar weapons.
With both terminal guidance and conventional warheads capable of affecting area targets (cluster for example) it might conceivably be used for a SPMBT engagement.
That'd be overkill
btw, quote from wikipedia:

Intended targets

The system is intended to use conventional warheads for the engagement of point and area targets, including:

* hostile fire weapons (missile systems, multiple launch rocket systems, long-range artillery pieces);
* air and missile defense weapons, especially stationary;
* fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft at airfields;
* command posts and communications nodes;
* troops in concentration areas;
* critical civilian infrastructure facilities.
even the Iskander with its great accuracy wouldn't be used as artillery, now i wonder what's the use of the SCUD with its accuracy
