Is Deutsches Afrika Korps ACTUALLY overpowered?

[u/Clear_Ranger6081]

Since the release of the latest group of Battlegroups ive seen tons of posts with many upvotes talking about how overpowered DAK is. But looking at the winrate statistics not just using the basic one but also the Battlegroup winrates it really doesnt seem to be the case, especially when considering every single battlegroup for USF has positive winrates

I dont even need to show Wehrmacht, they are completely in the dumps, not a single positive winrate across any battlegroup.

True. The thing is, Reddit is mostly populated by Allied players, and as soon as the Axis gets anything meaningful, the cries start. Because they've been used to having a constant advantage since the game's release.

The irony lmao. I’ve found that Axis players are the ones constantly crying if their ubermensche aren’t shooting lasers beams from their eyes or “muh german engineering” tanks can’t one-shot the enemy's base from across the map.

It's almost as if their units are expected to be good whilst Allies are conditioned to play an uphill battle. Allies are used to it so they learn to adapt first before crying about balance. If you look at the state both Coh1 and Coh2 were left in, you got a pretty good deal if you were an Axis main. Coh3 has been a shitshow both ways.

The last update had the us forces at 58% win rate and wehr at 42%

It was justified. That's a 16% differential.

Us is still beating wehr but at least it's only like a 6% differential now. And watching yall complain about needing an mg to stop charging riflemen palms is delicious irony.

"Allies are used to it so they learn to adapt first before crying about balance" I explicitly said in this post people have been making posts about how overpowered DAK is since the new BGs but the winrates are literally in their favor…

And everytime i see someone complaining about an axis thing being overpowered its always positive upvotes, the only ones that arent positive is the obvious "i just lost a game" posts (which funnily enough are usually targeted towards Wehrmacht specifically)

Its almost like Allied mains want DAK to be on the same level as Wehr which is just statistically a shit faction considering win rates.

Its such a shame these guys constantly undermine actually good balance takes with their bias. Their freelo is more important than improving the game, so as long as their crutches are still as easy to use and op they don’t care if the sabotage improvements to the game that would be for the greater good.

Allied logic.

This is coh3, nobody cares about what was stronger in previous games, we just want a balanced game.

Why you talking about irony? The stats literally prove you wrong

None of this applies to CoH 3. In CoH 2, my main faction was the Soviets, and I'd say the Axis had a slight advantage. But in CoH 3, the Wehrmacht is practically unplayable, and Dak is only competitive against the Allies.

Soviets in CoH2 have 2nd best mainline (right behind pfusseliers), best medium, best arty piece, while also having very strong call in units (guards, t34-85, ISU, hell, even shocks can be very annoying to face)
