seems fine to me so far. Needs more testing though.

Kubel is fine in Beta. Period.

A lot of people have an image of how they want a faction to play, leading to problems. This is why you have people complaining about lack of Soviet bunkers, why T34/76 sucks, why Cons don't scale, Grens don't get normal grenades, Muricans don't get heavy tank, OKW laser weapons and Die Glock Death Bell, etc.

The Kubel always evinces this song (for me)

I find the kubel to be in a good spot right now. Economically, it no longer provides a net buff to the OKW players' fuel income. It is also now a more interesting unit to micro.

As OKW, I find that I can, with a little bit of effort, have my kubel alive in the lategame as a useful flank-control unit.

As USF and Sov, I have a relatively easy time destroying even a well-microed Kubel, since a little bit of planning goes a long way towards ending it.

I do however believe that the kubel should be exempted from main gun destroyed crits. Its just a bit too much for me seeing a kubel I just ambushed get away after eating two AT nades with a destroyed MG... How does that even make sense?

It's not a matter of how much they change it's behaviour, more of how well it's counter are now working.
Even with a 5 fuel price, the chance of getting maphack for free is too much to ignore. Kubel is love, kubel is life.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I think any light scout car can suffer this critical where it gets "main gun destroyed" and its HMG bursts into flames as a result... Quadmount m5's suffered this, but still had the ability to shoot, which is hilarious to see 4 burning 50 cals still firing at you. It makes zero sense and does need to be removed... :/

Kubel seems like a good idea, but after a few minutes into the game, you think "Shit, why didn't I just get an inf squad, it would have some vet by now, instead of that burning wreck of a kubel".

It is understandable that you logged into what seems a recent thread. In fact, this thread last functioned properly in October 2014. Please try to look at the date of the last viewable post, before replying,
