dont mention those lamps! THE LAMPS ! God knows how many times I missed those infantry or at gun cause the HE shell got eaten by a lamp ... not to mention how the shells loose penetration from it. But thats another story.
Churches, well some of them are made almost like a bunker ! If you think about how thick those walls are. Particularly old churches. I mean see how many times they would be almost untouched while the rest of the city got bombed to hell. I doubt they would survive a direct hit but many other buildings colapsed while the church was still alive. And I guess its cause a lot of churches have been built to last centuries if not more. They are very well constructed. Not something you can tell from all buildings.
On the other side if you have the luck to hit a certain part of a building a large chunk of it might simply colapse. Some walls or supporting pillar if destroyed would cause the building to fall down eventually. That part is a whole science for it self and I am already surprised MoW does show here a lot of options.
From a realistic point of view vehicles should NOT drive trough buildings this was in most armies strictly forbidden for the simple fact that the danger to loose the vehicle was to high, as one might remember that many buildings have a celar and those are not made usualy to hold out the preasure of a 30 or even 50 ton vehicle ! (most bridges arent even!). Not to mention the danger of colapsing walls imobilizing the vehicle and damaging it or the crew.So yeah it definetly happend but it was nothing usual at some point you could even face hard punishment for it meaning prison time ... imagine it like flying a plane or helicopter under electrical towers which might be possible ... but no one would approve.
