Yeah, something needs to change in the OKW-US match-up, Kubel is very strong there. On cut-off maps it's a little beast.
But vs Soviets I don't think so. Just before the patch the Soviet-OKW match was very bad for OKW. Flamer M3, snipers trololol. Did just a bit more range on the Kubel change that completely? I don't think so.
M3 is on a fairly even footing, Maxim can't be suppressed + does decent damage and ATG takes 90% of its health.
If they move the damn sov M3 out of T1, I'd say nerf dat Kubel. But while sovs have such a powerful early game vehicle, I think the opposing side should too.
Sov's have it just as bad as Amis against Kubel, maxims are irrelevant as they are un-usable this patch as they cant retreat, also you cant call the clown car a decent counter as it cant suppress the support inf while the Kubel can, soviets cant be expected to have to get tier 1 and 2 to counter a Kubel.
