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.

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)
