Question about Mine Clearing VS Engineer Tanks

I would think it would be based on the relative danger posed by mines. If mineclear tanks are supposed to clear mines faster and engineer tanks clear DTs faster, then I would wonder if its based on the idea that clearing mines faster is worth more than clearing DTs faster.

"otherwise the AI would be snookered if it bought the wrong type!."

I fail to see where is the big deal. Have the AI buy only engineer tanks, which can deal with both, and not the mineclear ones. The AI disadvantage would be minimal and you avoid the very unrealistic situation of tanks with KMT kits being able to clear obstacles.

I ran another test. It seems that mineclear vehicles can clear DT. I don't know if it was a previous version, a glitch or just plain memory playing tricks with me.
I clearly remember mineclear tanks being unable to clear DT in a test several months ago. Whatever.

So do I.
Must have changed it in the current version.
