Offensively: Spread out with 2 or more units, rush in, get in (rifle-) AT nade range or shoot at it for a couple of seconds.

dont blob. if you have all your squads moving together they will all get suppressed together. spread out and that wont happen. better yet, have a squad ready to flank it when it stops moving (it cant suppress you while its moving).
Thx but mostly i cant flank it because there is a pio squad wich snacks me in 3 sec.

If there are Sturmpioneers repairing it, target them instead. A classic case of "shoot the medic first", units take 200% damage while repairing or building. He'll either need to stop repairing and possible pull back, or you'll inflict expensive losses on him. Sturmpioneers are very expensive to reinforce, so it's not likely he'll sacrifice them to fix a little car. With them gone, the car will be easier to get rid of.

Even if you don't kill the Kubelwagen, it'll either sit idle far away or he'll need Sturmpioneers to repair it. Either way it's one (or two) less units he has on the field, for a little.

Use cover, don't blob, hell you can use rear echelon troops volley to get it down quickly.
Its easiest to counter of all HMGs.

And it becomes scrap metal as soon as either the captain or the utility car shows up. Sturmpios are the problem here if you ask me, not the kubel.

The VW Beetle Convertible with MG is only an issue when it is supported by a swarm of StrumPio's. I've yet to find a counter to this. If you spread your troops thin so they cannot all be suppressed, you get murdered by the StrumPio's. If you blob and get suppressed while trying to focus fire on the Beetle the Strum's murder you from point blank. Tough gig.
Reminds me of the M3 dilemma. Spread out and you get picked off, blob up and you lose 3/4 map control.
On the bright side, Sturmpioneers are expensive, so losing men is a manpower drain, and you should have more squads than him. You can also use Machine Guns, the M2 and Maxim are the best Machine Guns in the game.

And Soveit M3 hard counters it if you want to go that rout.

Irrelevant. It's a first / second unit.
Bar is counter after a while, not in the start.
Anyway;
Focus fire, blind it with smoke, red cover.
It needs +- 5sec to get the supress right, so don't run into it.
Plus don't let it stand there for 5 secs if you have only 1 squad there.

Recognize that is he making himself weaker in the long run when he uses this unit.
To deal with it early on you need to spread out and use buildings. Kubelwagon is powerless against buildings. Sturmpioneers too will suffer greatly against troops in buildings.
Alas! Buildings will not always be there. I suggest using a "buddy system" and pair off all your units. If the Kubelwagon finds a pair then send them in two directions and charge it. If you find a Sturmpioneer then you should be able to kill it 2v1. If you can't flank it fast enough then find Green cover and fight back. Kubelwagon can't reliably suppress units in green cover and your Riflemen can easily kill it from the front. You should always be trying to flank it though.
Exploit the Rear Echelon troop's Volley Fire power to keep Sturmpioneers down. This ability suppresses and pins stupid fast. It's exceptionally powerful right now and trivializes singular dangerous units like Sturmpioneers.

The Kubelwagon is the weakest vehicle in the game but if used well can dominate in the first 5 minutes of the game.
