Fortifications Doc on this map vs USA is VERY strong.

my stats are available for everyone to see.

Your stats are not available for everyone to see, and there was no need to throw in an insult. I'm invising because you also threw in an insult.

I shot at a Kubel yesterday with a Zis, and missed 6 times in a row. It really sucked. My opponent went double Kubel and by that point had a puma. My ZiS was staring at all three while they shot at my teammates captain (who was an AI because he left). The captain couldn't hit them with shreks, and the zis couldn't either. I managed to kill one Kubel.

Bazookas are simply not reasonably effective vs Kubels. They come to late anyway, as the substantial threat from Kubels is the first few minutes of getting shut down.

We should call them Kubeldini, on account of their ability to escape from situations.

Also, as other mods have requested, KEEP IT TOGETHER PEOPLE.

I don't think a fuel cost is an appropriate solution. OKW vehicles are already designed to be fuel investments, and I rather leave the manpower heavy T1 in tact. Having more options and capability to counter the unit with flanking is the core of the issue.

Mein Kübelwagen is broken!

Peter von Bradenbad jumped the Rhine in mein Kübelwagen and now mein balance is all off! Mein schwerer Wehrmacht-Schlepper pushed the Allies into the road and we lost control!

Mein Balance Proposal

The Kübelwagen is over performing at cost, and also has an identity issue. These changes should reinforce the Kübelwagens roll as a mobile suppression platform, without being the Konigs Kübelwagen Self-Defense Robot (Special Edition). It should feel more like a traditional machine gun, while still having better mobility and the ability to soft retreat if a player is being attentive.

1. A small reduction in rotation speed

Will require players to be more mindful or where it is placed. It will also allow for more nuanced gameplay to distinguish between a well micro'd Kübelwagen, and a poorly micro'd Kübelwagen
(Example: Players must react faster when responding to threats or risk being flanked).

2. Add a tear down time

It should be short, but there must be a tear down time in order to provide options on how to take this thing down. It is very difficult to kill a well micro'd Kübelwagen because of its ability to reverse away from flanking squads. A perfectly executed three direction flank on a Kübelwagen can be shut down because its rear armor is easy to protect, and the RNG roll on the front armor is too large of a cushion.

2A. Alternative: Add a toggle for suppression mode

Allow Kübelwagen to toggle into suppression mode in a setup position. This provides similar functionality as the tear down penalty, and allows squads to threaten a kubel when flanking.

3. Add a frontal armor buff when setup

The goal is to make the Kübelwagen stronger when stationary to compensate for reduced mobility and turn radius. Currently the Kübelwagen can take a lot of frontal damage from other MGs and suppressed blobs. More should be done to discourage blobbing, and encourage flanking. Adding a slight buff to the frontal armor of a Kübelwagen when setup will help discourage frontal assaults, like an MG is supposed to. It will also encourage flanking, as the reduced turn speed and tear down time allow flanking squads a solid opportunity to threaten the Kübelwagen.
