you cant simply avoid the kubel wagon dude, it camps by your fuel point and it always sees you and fire before you see them.

considering i may want frag or health truck, that would more likely be 105 fuel

Kubels arent a problem now after patch .. Don't spread you forces in first 2 mins of game keep the 2RFs you get in 2mins together flank with one while keeping other in green cover bait it with RE if he gets more than 1 kubel get LT and m20 and its game over for the other guy

I don't get an ambulance so early. I see it as a waste of fuel early game because volksgrenadier can't defeat riflemen easily. It's a very equal fight if both in the same kind of cover (yellow,green..), don't know why it's equal though considering that there's 45 mp difference. So anyway, I see early ambulance is a waste. You're better off going for the M20 (which also has the mine that one shots puma) to kill the kubel. AAHT is kinda a waste since it's so expensive unless your opponent has got 5 squads of infantry or more attacking the same place.


The kubel is really easy to be countered with riflemen. Remember if he can't find targets for his kubel, he can't get vet. If you just kill it with the M20 a bit later, then he just wasted 5 fuel and some manpower that could have been spent on more squads. Also, if he goes for your fuel, send your RE around the map take his cutoff or his fuel. I noticed that a lot of players panic when they get their fuel attacked and start performing rash actions.

there is a difference between sending rifleman to flank into their fuel than sending a fast ass kubelwagon that can get there quickly and out very fast though
if i rush into their fuel they can rush back their kubel wagon back to their fuel and in addition to the kubelwagon having the first attack since they know you are taking the fuel

It's definately tricky , but it's also definately possible.


Flanking with rifles generally is very unreliable and doesn't work vs good players on alot of maps.

WC 51 assures that even if you don't kill the kubelwagen, you atleast equalize.

Versus OKW in 1v1 i find it's actually a good idea to go for a double RE start to help flank the kubelwagen.
