I would like weapons that ignore terrain when aiming. This would be a tag similar to ignoreFeature.

wd.onlyForward = !wd.turret && (wd.type != "StarburstLauncher");
If onlyFoward == true, then ground test is skipped already.

So what do I do if I want a weapon like Bertha to ignore terrain? Is there a tag I can see or do I need to slave the weapon to a StarburstLauncher? I think slaving is a sufficiently complex workaround to warrant a new weapon tag.
It would also be nice if StarburstLaunchers didn't have hardcoded terrain ignoring. Although then the trajectory would need to be plotted for StarburstLaunchers which would be a lot more work than simply adding a tag alongside the current terrain checks that can be set with weapondefs.
