Realistically speaking tanks CAN indeed do that. Trying to do that as an inf counter would be dangerous considering those inf RPGs will kill the tanks before they come for squishing you.
Opinions please?

As entertaining as that was to do in Red Alert, I don't think it really fits the theme of Wargame.

This isn't C&C. I'm sure the soldiers can jump out of the way of an approaching tank.

Indeed.

I know only one documented "squishing attack" by tank, that of a B1 Bis named "Riquewihr" at the battle of Stonne on May 17th, 1940.
It "squished" a squad of Germans in a ditch, then attacked the village of Stonne with its tracks still red of blood and human remains: its sole sight put the German defenders in flight, and they dubbed "Riquewihr" the "Stonne's Butcher" for the rest of the battle.

The reason I suggested this was to make "throw lots of inf in front of the tanks" a lesser viable defense technique because IRL a tank will definitely squish you if you try that.

Squashing infantry in Company of Heroes is fun but the downside is when infantry just walk into the tanks they die more often than not. You watch whole squads just disappear into slow moving tanks as they try to follow each other around it.
Leave it out.

I thought it was annoying when Red Alert did it (not sure about the other C&C games)
and im pretty sure Infantry could jump out of the way of a tank or better yet, shoot it before it gets too close

If I recall, you could force-move order tanks to squash units by holding either Alt or Ctrl (don't remember). If you held down Shift with that, you could tell a unit to chain squash. It was quite funny.

While this was fun to do in men of war I dont think tanks would survive enough LAW fire to get close enough to run down infantry in WEE. Also why squish with tracks when you have HE shells

That's rather disturbing.
Not quite as disturbing as the image of the crab flails being used against infantry, but still...
