The Great Panjandrum, some added fun for Normandy invasion missions ?  It's even historical.

Developed by Britain during World War II, the Panjandrum was a huge cart filled with explosives and powered by rockets. Designed to destroy the 10 foot high, 7 foot thick concrete defenses of the Atlantic wall, the huge cart had rockets attached to each wheel so it could crash through any obstacles to reach its target. Although it was intended to be a secret project, when it was tested on a beach full of holiday makers the secrecy was abandoned. The final test of the device ended in disaster when the Panjandrum veered off course, shedding live rockets in all directions and prompting everyone to dash for cover. The device exploded and the project was scrapped. It has since been suggested that the project was a hoax to distract the Germans attention away from the Normandy coastline.

Reading the description should tell you all about whether such a thing will/would be added.
