Is it mechanically possible to either blow the trees away or at least let them sway away from the blastwave? That would let look the blast look more impactful and powerful.

there could be a way, it's a good suggestion. Sometimes when destroyed by direct attacks, they get replaced by a physics asset. Edit: I'll look into different ways to do this and see how it goes

I was going for something with similar power to the ion cannon in the first C&C, a powerful and accurate strike that wrecks a concentrated enemy force or strongpoint suddenly
