Yeah, with my long experience playing brits in coh1 I'm all too familiar with the safe zone concept and that's what I try to do. The problem is it plays into his hands since then he gets the map, but you can't do anything about that anyway. He will cap the map with his kubelwagen and just try to obstruct your infantry, not necessarily looking to beat them but just harass them, occupy them, take buildings just so you have to go through the pain of clearing them rather than because he needs them. If you don't get a mortar pit or wasp then he can stall you in this way forever until he has his schrek blob and luchs which will beat your aec + infantry, and if it somehow didn't, he just comes back with some obersoldaten that focus fire your machine guns if they still haven't been squad wiped yet and gg. If you do make them, he can zerg the mortar pit and just shoot the wasp.

The problem really stems from the superior map control that the kubelwagen gets him. Then the lesser problem is that his mid game is simply more effective at beating yours than vice versa even if he for some lunatic reason wouldn't make a kubel, and there is no way to tech away from it both since his T0 alone beats all your vehicles and because teching to T2 and having enough fuel for a tank is just not gonna happen in anything of a timely fashion with the resource advantage he has.
