What's their purpose in a game? I mean there's Merville Battery, where engineers are key as they destroy the Vz 14s... but what about other maps? What's there for them to blow up?
Engineers were badly implemented in RO2, where you're usually destroying Czech hedgehogs. Not very rewarding business, because really, how hugely are you helping the team by removing two or three of those things? And IRL, wouldn't you get a dozen guys to push them over rather than blowing them up?
Personally, I love the PR approach, where as an engineer you can destroy any static AA and AT guns using C4. And in PR, unlike RO2, these guns aren't labelled as "destroy" objectives for engineers. They're just there, and it's assumed that you can go about destroying them if you want to. My God, I love that.
In TW, this means allowing pioniers/sappers to destroy AA guns, AT guns, and artillery pieces by setting a satchel charge on the base or barrel of the gun. And again, these guns shouldn't be labelled as objectives of any kind (unless, of course, it's like the Vz 14s in Merville Battery). You should just be able to destroy them. My two cents... please, think on it!
And what about AP (and later AT) mines? Too many games implement these so that when they're set down, the whole mine is exposed. Unrealistic, as IRL ninety percent of the mine is underground. What of the sacred Cutter of Wires? Do we just take them out, make some cuts, and the barbed wire becomes destroyed or something? Pushed aside?
Oh, and I've been meaning to ask (apologies for dragging the thread on), will different grenades have accurate performance? Mills bombs, being fragmentation grenades, need to have a larger fatal radius; in contrast, Stielhandgranaten (being stun grenades) need to have a far smaller fatal radius plus a stun effect, and a longer throwing range. Can we assume we'll see accurate grenade performance in TW? I don't think Mudra will be happy if we don't... don't make the dragon angry...
On a personal note, devs, I'm looking forward to seeing a certain easter egg in Pegasus Bridge... a plate of cookies in a bunker or guard house...

Very glad to hear that grenades will have the proper performance... has this been done in a game, namely for the Stielhandgranate? Don't think so.
