Yeah but the Kugel is an exception because it's far cooler than other vehicles and was actually used in some places. It also fills that AI vehicle gap when no other unit is suitable or too similar to other factions.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Ok I see.

As for the AA tanks, both the Wirbelwind and the Ostwind were prototypes sorta...anyways they were quite rare on the battlefield. But still, it's a cool unit!

Also, will the Famo be able to build 20mm AA nests?

"Our tanks are far better than that cheap Allied scheisse!"
"Screw this weapon, man!"

The Kugelblitz was not yet out of development when the war ended. Several evaluation vehicles had been built, but it is unclear how many. It is also unclear what happened to the few Kugelblitzes which were built; some sources say that they ended up being used in the Battle of Berlin.

One Kugelblitz was also involved in the fights near the town of Spichra, where it was destroyed and remained buried in the Spatenberg hill until its excavation in 1999

And here a link to the story of the only confirmed Kugelblitz kill, if you can read german ...

No, the Famo won't build concrete bunkers.

Kugel will be seen even less than Wirbel and Ostwind I think because it is an extreme lategame tank which requires T4 and support pool. Support pool will be a bit of a rarer choice because you get stronger vehicles in assault pool (Tiger etc.) and most people will choose this. Kugel is going to be more expensive than the other tanks too but will be worth this price. It will be specifically designed against Soviets and have an AOE based attack rather than sniping like Ostwind or suppression like Wirbel to counter high numbers of troops.

Surely someone's posted a pic of it somewhere? Yeah it's concrete and units can garrison it until you upgrade it.

Yeah that's true but surely someone's seen a pic of the starting positions or seen it in the broadcast.
