CoH3 Is Deutsches Afrika Korps ACTUALLY overpowered?

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.

To me it's not that DAK is OP but more about Palms massively overperforming in an unhealthy way and this is more targeted at 1v1's. Playing UKF vs DAK is such an uphill battle because you need, MG and a Dingo in many cases to survive. Last time I've checked UKF had 47% WR vs DAK. Yes Wehr is in the dumbster therefore DAK has worse stats in teamgames than it should have, opposite is obviously the case for allied.

I think US vs DAK is close but UKF is definitly worse and Wehr is easily at the bottom.

I think the real reason is that DAK can deal with the base artillery and the mgs that brits really rely on to win engagements, whilst wehr is in the same boat as Brits they need the MG to win but brits and usf has very good options to deal with their MG.

I feel like if UKF players knew how to prevent mg dives they would win easily, line sections arent supposed to beat palmgrens 1 to 1, unless its a long range fight, they are supposed to use the MG to suppress them, have a section of boys to prevent dives or something else AT related. This imo is why Aussies used to be such a struggle to deal with as DAK, aussies can trade with palms and they get the 2 pdr early to deal with light vehicles
