What makes the kubel useful is what also makes it weak. Its a mobile mg on a car. Its not an armored car, so it cant have armor like armored scout cars. However, i think it is the smallest of all vehicles, so everything should have a tougher time hitting it than larger targets, but it still follows the rules of all vehicles where there is practically 0 chance of enemy rifles to miss it. Its completely viable for a Rear Archelon to flank a kubelwagen, and it will kill it, even though you wouldnt use RE for anything else because it is so bad. Kind of the reason why it would be a neat idea to have the mg of the kubelwagen to be retreivable, but then any team would be able to grab it (from a stable wreckage). Unless OKW are the only ones able to retreive it from the wreckage, but that would probably be unfair...

But because the kubel is a car, its use as an suppresion platform is much harder to use past 5 minutes into the game. It costs no fuel, anyways, so like it matters that much. You can still be an ass with it and make life hard for the enemy under those 5 minutes.

My favorite tactic with the kubel is to suppress a riflemen squad, then charge it with sturmpioneers. Its an instant retreat or wipe, which is extremely effective.

However, a real suggestion of mine would be to allow the kubel to continue its suppression even if it rotates in place. That would probably be very unfair for flanking tactics against it, but many times the kubelwagen rotates to target an enemy WITHOUT ME TELLING IT when it is already suppressing other units. Then it gets destroyed because of that. A soft position lock could do to prevent it from rotating and losing its suppression when i dont want it to.

"Lack of Heavy Armor options for USF"

Yeah. You completely missed the point.

I saw no point that could prove a point... if that made sense. It would be a pointless decision that would require tons of revamping. Should is the word that falls very short once it meets the reality. It isnt, so it doesnt matter if it should. How both artillery are used wont change if mobile MLRS stays mobile MLRS and static shell artillery remains static shell artillery, given everything in place. So should is a whim.

If explaining why rocket artillery will always be more effective than static shell artillery isnt answering the point... then why? Static artillery vs. Rocket artillery is also a serious matter.

OKW does have 3 variants of the 251, but none that support infantry directly like Ostheer's 251.

Would be cool if a destroyed kubelwagen has a usable mg platform in the wreckage to be picked up by volks and to be used as an infantry crew mg, but given to how kubels die rather far into the lines, it would be giving the enemy a free mg.
