The kubelwagen got buffed recently, but was it enough to make it worthwhile?
Right now, even though it's great against US early game, it's quite underwhelming against soviet T1 or T2. M3A1 or Maxims will tear it appart, not even talking about ZIS. It's not a unit that can be microed well enough to overcome its odds against those units, making it rather useless against Soviet altogether.
Luckily, it is the best scout around, with his huge sight, but its ability to chase down sniper is quite limited since it's hard countered by the M3.
If it could deal some damage outside his limited range (without dealing suppression), it would probably make it a better support unit, instead of a weird "frontline" support.
Any thought on this unit and how to improve it without breaking balance?
A wish for the Kubelwagen

It's fine the way it stands.
Too many threads on this unit already.

Not every unit needs to work splendidly against every BO or army, which was proved by every single unit so far.
Kubel is fine, it got its own niche and its good at it.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

It can work 'ok' vs soviet, like you say M3s counter it very hard. Maxims it is going to find limited use trying to push cappers off flanks. Just keep a pio close to it if you find yourself with one Vs maxims, but its probably better to just not build one vs soviet.
Mid- late game, just pull it back and use it far more defensivley, use its vet ability to gain a medium distance map hack!

Only pathfinding needs to be better. Not a dumb driver (but all vehicles suffer from non educated drivers).
