Allow infantry to cut down all plants with melee weapons, instead of being limited to explosives

During offensive or defensive operations, vegetation such as bushes and trees often obstructs the line of sight or interferes with tank shell trajectories. Currently, removing vegetation mainly relies on vehicle crushing or explosives. However, some shrubs cannot be cleared by explosives and can only be destroyed by tank"Crush", which is highly inconvenient.
Especially after recent updates, trees significantly slow infantry movement and can even block weapons like Panzerfausts and mortar rounds, making vegetation clearance even more challenging.
It is recommended to optimize the game mechanics by improving the logic and interactive effects of vegetation clearance to enhance the combat experience.

HMG should be able to damage trees over time to cause them to fall and for the small bushes if youre spraying with a LMG it would break as well

It would be nice if tank shells could also knock down trees at least.

They can if you hit it at the base with HE.

Its very inconsistent Ive found, I beleive the version we have in game is the old system that was in WT as well, which was also very inconsistent about it. I can wack 75mm HE into the bases of certain trees and nothing will happen, but if I tap it slightly with my tank it will instantly fall down.

In fact, in the previous version, it was very easy to knock down trees. According to an old player’s description, in the past, both sides would like to build a heavy machine gun with a machine gun team and then shoot down all the trees that got in the way. Not to mention tanks. But later, Anton fixed this issue. As a result, now if you want to get rid of trees, you have to turn the tank into a tractor.

Ah, yes, that’s how it is. You can use HE or heat to destroy all the plants by attacking their roots. But there are some bushes that even if you drop a bomb package and create a big crater beneath them, they still won’t be destroyed. Besides, isn’t it a waste of time to fire one shell after another? And it’s so inefficient. After you fire a few shells, the enemy soldiers and tanks will have already noticed you. And in reality, ah, the trees or other things on the green belt in the Berlin map, you have to chase them over there. Shells and high-explosive shells won’t work.
