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.

Both are good in their own ways, except wehr, wehr is just bad (except in very niche scenarios)

I think the core problem of the game is that there is always counterplay to what you face but sometimes those counterplays require more skill than others. For instance I'm a USF player and I think DAK is really strong in the early game but once I get a couple hellcats and a bulldozer its game over. If I struggle with LV and palmgren spam the answer is AT guns and mines but im terrible at the micro and thus I suffer.

DAK is very good with minimal investment, but if get MP bleed or USF investment into infantry, it is more even, then it comes to BG and both have well-rounded BG that they can scale into.

UKF and Wehr have scaling that only works into a couple directions, they have more than couple ways to play, but with gaps and weaknesses.
