Quick kubelwagon question
Posts: 14
Long story short, are kubels infantry targets? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Six times in a row is just insanely bad RNG.

Like Jaridan said, the maxim will push the kubal back but a well microed kubal can hold back a whole push early game if your not careful. My opinion: its a stupid unit

Honestly the kubal is rly hard to deal with.
Its really not... just rush an M3. He wont have a shrek by the time your M3 hits the field and ofc no fausts

Yep, I know it's not terribly difficult to kill, I just didn't want to play passive against OKW and let them reach late game to easily, so I wasn't all that keen on the maxims, so I figured a quick ZIS shot will take care of them quickly and let me move on with my game, and the described results made me wonder. Granted I have no idea about playing soviets as this was my 2 game after the break since the Western Armies launch window - so I figured just go with a lot of aggressive infantry play (the game ended with him punishing me with a king tiger, which I had large problems countering - was hard to take away the fuel on langres).
Spread out a few Cons, and bum rush it - some people even go as far and tech for AT nades (personally i don't think that's needed). Flanking works best, Kubels rear armor is only 2 instead of 4.
Maxims work as well, Zis anyways - except you get such a bad case of RNG, but even in worst case it will drive away.
You can also use the mentioned M3 to attack it frontally, and chase it to death.
And last but not least, there's also plenty of early doctrinal stuff that can kill it super easily.

I feel like its a crime to make an AT gun bad against a lightly armored car...
I could imagine if you go to a gun range and try to hit a car sized target with your AT gun you would miss the first shots as well. *g* And "bad" is the wrong word. If it hits, its an instakill.

current soviet meta is maxim spam into zis into quad into su76s. -> win. (in a nutshell)

Just a quick reminder that the accuracy penalty you take while suppressed doesn't make you miss the Kubelwagon since small arms fire ALWAYS hits vehicles. So if your sitting in front of it while suppressed and he doesn't have support keep shooting, then retreat when your pinned.
