I think commandos have one, but it's timed and can't be manually detonated. Only glider commandos, mind you.

,im pretty sure its a non timed one because i only use commandoes to go deep behind lines in 2v2s and 3v3s to plant them on retreat points and i use them to ambush weapon teams moving up to the front lines.

Commandos are non-timed, airbornes are timed.

I don't use it often, but from what I remember, they plant it and then it goes off a few seconda after as they move off.

Mine field which you have to guard? otherwise they just get destroyed by a mine detector ? while you just blow up a pioneer squad with your demo charge when they try it?.

Goliath? slow small tank like things who just explode by the first contact they have? Does somebody even use them? And bundle grenades? More expensive grenades which you just can avoide except you throw them at a weapon squad?

Expensive doctrin call in device which you easily can hear by its loud sound. You don´t know where the bomb get exactly dropped. but most of the time you just retreat your unit and everything is fine exepct it´s not a structure which get bombed. Also other faction got bombers

I mean none of these are realy multy squad wipe killers. Except the stuka and the goliath. But you need to forecast where the enemy will be in the next 5 sec. And when you miss you wasted at least 100 ammo.
With the demo charge you don´t need to hurry. Most of the time they are placed on a point next to building or on a bottleneck position where it easily squad wipes.
It´s often frustrating to loose one or more expensive units to a single explosion.
I cannot always use a pioneer squad with mine detector to run in front of my army. And blobbing with a mine detector within your units is uncool.
Please be not salty i don´t want to offend somebody. But it would be cool if axis also get it someday with a new faction or a new doctrin.
