Its no rocket science here, its plain common sense-you do NOT give suppressing unit huge attack AND sight range...

In general units with both huge sight range and attack range tend to be questionable- look at the Puma, pre nerf focus-sight SU85, ISU, Elefant, so on and so forth... At least scopes don't work on the move and focus-sight slows units down now. The Puma, though, is really great because long range + long vision range + lots of speed, just like the Kubel and in a way the soviet sniper (same applies, high range + vision + sprint speed).

For what it's worth, though, each P4 costs 25% more fuel than each T3476, and the vet armor bonus of the P4 is useless vs the IS2 while the rate -of-fire bonuses the '76 gets remains relevant vs the Tiger.

That's four (!) squads standing, bunched up around a corner, not moving and taking shots at the IS2 for 20 seconds, while the IS2 shoots multiple times, not wiping a squad from full (5 men) to zero in any single shot...

I'd rather the think get a fuel cost.

I don't think this would solve the issue, since it only takes one Kubel to seriously screw over the USF from the get-go, with the help of truck push and sturms- unless the fuel cost became inordinately large.

I'd think that having the Kubel remain exactly as it is now, but only buildable after the first truck is deployed, would be the ideal solution- that way the OKW has a manpower-only suppression unit that isn't terrible in the later stages of the game because of slow speed or rotation or pack up time making it roll over and die to AT guns, but would also avoid the 3 minute kubel-at-your-cutoff syndrome that makes USF so annoying to play. It would also require least changes to the unit itself.

At the same time it also allows the OKW player to make a more strategic choice- rushing out the Kubel would cost 440MP and 40 fuel, but theoretically can be done right out of the gate, so there would be tradeoffs involved- impactful unit that requires a tech decision early and fewer supporting units.

Also the vet 1 ability can't remain the same, it outclasses the Sauron halftrack and the million units with infantry awareness so hard it isn't even funny. I don't even see why it shouldn't get a clone of the infantry awareness ability, as boring as it is.

M20 mine (or teller mine), yes, but the guy said it was a 1v1 so I don't think american mines would factor in.
