And using the gun depression argument isn't valid since a tank on a hill would have an equally hard time (if anything a harder time) depressing downward versus shooting up.

You would be correct if hills were flat plateaus at the top. See exhibit A below.



Also you have to consider where the strongest armour on a tank is located. A tank on a hill has its best armour facing the opponent, while the opponent on the bottom has some of his weakest. (Second only to the armour underneath)


The advantage of high ground is that you are a much smaller target and harder to hit, while you have full view of your target from up top and they are very exposed. (In melee fights you have leverage, but that's not applicable here)

I realize that some maps have slight slopes that cause issues, but so will any sort of cover or debris in your path. As Someguy has explained, if your tank is hitting the environment *it already missed its diceroll*.

Lets not make this game into SC2. Every diceroll is a risk/reward scenario that you have to consider. One of these is that you have to be mindful of the terrain. It'd be an issue if it was only one unit, but it is very consistent behaviour for nearly all weapons ranging from AT guns to tanks to bazookas.

I think machine guns are a bit too prone to dying on the retreat thanks to the 25% accuracy modifier, but otherwise it's okay.

Kubel *could* kill a sniper, I'd say it's more of a soft counter than a hard counter. Short range, not that fast, not so effective vs retreating snipers and paper in front of an M3.

They should swap the M3 for the Kubel you could easily chase down snipers with an M3 if only the Kubel was defending.

But snipers with an M3 behind them = no Kubelcounter :/

As I said, vet 1 kubel detect ability reveals any sniper within a huge radius. The hard part is getting it to vet 1 without losing it to m3 bullshit.

Maybe if you're lucky, but an M3 will easily handle a Kuebel (which is a given if he went snipers).

The damage on the M3 wrecks the Kuebel, making it impossible to advance with it.

That's true, just throwing it out there that OKW actually has a very potent sniper counter.

Kubel being made of wet paper is going to continue to be a balance issue though. If the M3 doesn't get it, At grenades will.

Honestly, the strategy would probably fail vs Ostheer and really only works against OKW due to a lack of hard counters (no counter sniper or 222).
.

The counter to sniper is the kubel wagon.

Get vet 1, use detect ability and shoot the sniper with something else.
