its an MG its supposed to suppress your infantry when they walk right in front of it, the whole trick, just like any other MG you have to come to it not from the front. if it was nerfed to the point that you could walk straight at it and kill it before it suppresses your infantry then it would bassically be pointless.
In return you would receive damage on a move.
M3 also has MG, Jeep the same (does jeep suppress? Idk cause I never used it)
But if it is a mobile suppression platform that cannot be flanked due to speed and acceleration, how you want to deal with it as USF? No AT, no HMGs, just rifles.
And how you would deal with 2 kubels that suppress your units to the ground in just few seconds.
Hide in biulding? Cool, waith for Stormpio to wipe you or volks throw you a grenade.
Choose E8 commander and use AT nades? First You need to get close enough which is impossible vs decent player.
Soviets have Maxim, ZiS and Hooorah which can help to flank it but USF? Nothing. Just make 3-4 rifles squads and pray that Axis player is really, really bad and will not repel this.
I love this community... crying for weeks for a Kubel nerf (rightfully) and then complaining when you get one. Seriously, you may believe that this is drop in the ocean and that more changes need to made, but can we at least acknowledge that this is a good thing?
I also don't get the argument that reverting previous changes is somehow 'bad' or 'circular.' If you believe a previous change was a mistake, why wouldn't you want them to fix it? Would you prefer they just persevered with something even when its completely fucked up?
Community were crying (maybe not as loud as recently but still) for weeks BEFORE kubel was buffed. Now it's same as it was before recent buff so in fact nothing has changed.
