It does? :foreveralone:


Nobody shoots smoke at tanks because normally that's a dumb idea (because he can just drive through it right?), but it does, not a lot but it's there.

White Phos also disables the weapons on vehicles in addition to fucking with it's movement but then again I'm currently tripping out on painkillers so I might be wrong.

it will have to reposition

have a counter in the area, either flank with multiple squads or have a light vehicle


Oh not saying it can't be done I don't really have much problems with them just a few maps and rifle commander is pretty good against okw at nades from the start help a lot. I just think in 2v2 ost/okw teams it shines a lot more now from the ost mg spams and add a kubel and you got suppression everywhere costing USF a shit ton of munitions and the fact of USF needing sniper/mortar is pretty relevant now.

Well there is a difference between the rifle commander white phos and just riflmen smoke grendade. The riflemen smoke grenade does not slow down vehicles and I don't think the white phos call in does either it just blocks LOS why the tanks stop firing you can attack ground. As munition hungry USF is now I hardly use white phos in 2v2 unless they have crap load of support weapons jumbled up together or I force an okw retreat to truck and time it right to sync with arty or if I have other tools nearby to wipe all there 0 hp infantry.

This is the one, rare, little diamond that you can find in the avalanche of bullshit that comes from under his fingers.

USF smoke nades blind and slow vehicles.

I wish this lap top could play coh2 so I could get a replay or screen of it.

The White Phosphorus Smoke rounds will prevent vehicles from using their weapons if they are inside the smoke cloud, and will whittle enemy infantry's health down to just 1 HP, making it trivially easy to kill them. It also still functions as covering smoke.

that will have to suffice for now I guess

LOL. Why would I waste munitions smoking a kubel??? It can just reverse quicker than shit and pen all my infantry again. Smoke isn't going to do crap vs a kubel.


If kubel go reverse after u smoke it then smoke should be between you and rifles. Unless you go trough smoke infront of it again. If it goes forward and close the distance then u have better chance of killing him trough nades or whatever is available.

I mean, this is a nobrainer. Do you even read what u write?

Kubel OP? :foreveralone:

Nope. :foreveralone:

Can be countered by the following:
  • M3
  • Spread out riflemen
  • Mines
  • Maxims
  • RE spam
  • MG bunkers
  • Blobberinos
  • at grenades

White phosphor does disable weapons on tanks, they even get a little icon on the portrait explaining it.

Alex is right I thought the WP effect on vehicles was well known. I think with the normal rifle smoke back around AA release they did a stream where they showed the riflemen smoke grenade affecting a vehicle it even gets an icon on its portrait.

The Kubel is seriously annoying to deal with but I wouldn't call it OP. It is more of an issue on 4v4 maps where a lot of combat takes place in narrow lanes with longer retreats since that plays to the strength of the Kubel but even then its lifespan tends to be hilariously low.

Maybe it's a nooby thing, but while playing with soviets, if I see kubel, the first upgrade I buy it's the at grenade, storm the damn' thing with conscripts from multiple directions and ATnade the shit out of it. Sometimes it goes pretty well.

It may not be OP but it's damn annoying. Charging with Kubel at enemy's fuel/cut off in the first minute, followed by SP is just damn irritating.

On some maps, if you won't pick up M3, and you face really good opponent, Kubel is too powerful (Minsk for example where you have no green cover - tho it still suppresses behind it).

What I dislike the most is fact that Relic nerfed volley fire, ability for ammo to suppress one squad, while there is highly mobile unit which can suppress everything and everywhere.

It's same with MG42. Axis player put really little effort with MG42/Kubel while allied player must micro squads really intensive, spend ammo/fuel to counter such micro-less gamestyle and to defend from retreating.

It's disproportionate effort between MG42/Kubel and how allied player must counter it (especially USF).
