Being a structural engineer I would have to advice the Relic team to check with one on how different building collapse since there is much room for improvement on that department.

I'm not any kind of engineer but this stuff seems to be a lot of work and looks not very realistic. I'm not sure how designing any of this works but it would seem to make more sense to just adapt the coh1/coh2 method of building destruction to make it look more realistic. Having building destruction injure nearby units is going to cause a headache to competitive players IMO and from what they're showing us now it doesn't look nearly ready for a live game launch. They really could use more of that dust they're happy they removed

If there will be option to disable this idiotic debris flying left and right, then its actually more or less bearable.

Also, unit being damaged by building collapsing is imo fine, its not nesesery but not a day changer. You would just look for buildings which nearly destroyed, but visually it should be a problem to see that building is about to collapse. On the other hand, if there is say a church with a huge tower (like in trailer) and you can make tower collapse just by dealing enough damage directly to it, then it might be a problem, because huge buildings will most likely damage units in larger areas. But if its a small radius around the building it should be fine.
