So a lot of players are having difficulties with playing the Faction. Many of them also claim the Kubelwagon is useless but I find it to fill a very vital role because of the lack in damage output with Volks grens. I have some tips with using them and I hope this replay will help players Identify useful situations for them.

First I want to start off with why I think this unit is vital in the early game. OKW have a weak early game compared to US and Soviets. Focus fire will shred your poor sturm pios who have most of your early DPS, and they are un armored like P grens so any time you take damage it hurts. Volks grens have piss poor DPS, I only really use them for capping or pushing away builder utility units that are capping. So what does the kubel wagon do to help? Well like in the replay You use it to make the early fights one sided. Suppressing your opponents units makes even volks win handedly in their fights. plus you avoid crucial early damage for your sturm pios so they can stay on the field longer. The reason this is so important is because OKW has a hampered economy and your units are expensive. unless you spam Volks grens, you do not have many units capping around the map, so if a fight goes bad, not only do you loose man power, but more time because it will take you longer to re cap those positions than Soviets or US. Plus the early mobility allows you to easily flank early Soviet T2 and like in the replay deal with snipers. Now this unit has a timer to be sure, mine lasted over 10 minutes being repaired a few times, but in that time it allowed me to gain map control and stop early man power bleed which pushed me into a very strong mid game.

Now tips for using the kubel wagon:

1) use the early supply truck to scout where your opponent is capping so you know where your opponents forces are going. That way you can know where to send your kubel wagon
2) try to keep it at max range to reduce the damage it takes and put more distance between you and your opponents stuff so you can get away in the worst situations
3) when using kubel vs weapons teams get point blank, it actually does quite a bit of damage
4) in the first few minutes of the game, use its speed to your advantage. if you see an adjacent territory being captured on the south front, send your kubel wagon down south to support, It is very fast and will be there in a timely matter to make an impact.
5) its paper thin, never get super close to infantry units unless they are suppressed, you may loose it in that split second
6) it is a recon unit that is very fast, If you win an early fight you might as well go forward a bit to see if there are reinforcements coming. Just do not do that around blind corners

I hope this gets spread around a bit, It would be nice to see people considering using the kubel wagon more often than just disregarding it

Just thinking about it bluntly why does okw have 33% greater cost for units that get melted by us blob. Kv8. And no decent at. Armor is not that special either and sovs have much steonger armor options.

Okw gets rofl stomped by con spam m3 and sniper spam or maxim spam. Yet I see no advantage gicen to okw for its less income anddddddd more expensive units a double whammy

Can you just stop making these flaming posts? please do us all a favor and stop spamming the forums with your presence. Your posts rely on your opinion and taking things out of context, not a whole lot else.

Anyhow To counter your post again, I would ask you to go to the strategy forums first about how to play because your posts show you clearly do not, or are too stubborn to ever adapt.

wow I dont even know what I would do if it were double OKW vs that. An infantry gun would be necessary at least, and maybe an early stuka?

A) That is not a valid counter
B) if your opponent has good unit preservation, and sends his units back to the med vehicle often, the Man power bleed on those vet 3-5 units is next to none, And so late game it becomes easier to save up for the tank

I think the MVP of this game is the howi call-in shot. Pretty good game over all
