Came here from official COH2 forum, since it's down.
Wanted to share my appreciation of the OKW faction.
The Kubel is just simply broken, no doubt about that, it makes no sense that fast units such be allowed to cap, let alone faster then regular infantry.
The kubel is a unit that is starting to annoy me. I don't think i have played a game where it wasn't present, mind you I largely play asians, or chinese to be more specific and they have a certain type of playstyle..
I just played a game where I came from 3 directions, 2 rifles and 2 re, surrounded the kubel almost point blank range, it sustained fire for probably 1.5 secs then just reversed up the road with a slither of health, whilest I lost 2 rifle models. It used to be easier to kill with that kind of maneuver.
Yesterday, captain fires two zook volleys,medium range, misses. Wtf how small is it target size.
Another game, kubel takes a shell from easy 8, survives. wtf.
Kubel also seems to do good damage against green cover. I had full health rifles in green cover shooting at kubel in open, lost 3 models while kubel maybe lost 33% health. Had it not got stuck on light object trying to get away i would not have killed it at that time.
Do not attempt to counter if you are in negative cover(ie roads) it will simply fuck you up and you will never get near it due to speed on roads.
Damage output is really quite good. It will easily solo a squad given right circumstances, and it drops models at a fairly constant rate.
I really think it needs a fuel cost. Its a bit too good atm, and to those that will argue the contrary, if it is not good why is it present in every game I play..
