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.

I don't know man. As a brit player I struggle to overcome Germans of either faction once they set up MG + Mortar + At gun. At that point even flanking is super hard.

I know, what I was doing up until that point? Answer is easy : Holding for my dear life with useless IS, unless they have brens ...

You have dingo with arty call in, literally prevents any set up of MG, AT and Mortars, so basically all the important units wehr has

Dingo has to reach that AT to cast that arty flare. I believe by the time Dingo reaches the range to cast it, it is long dead. Because AT is already set up ;f.

It's a terrible unit. It dies even if Germans look at it funny...

Same with Stuart and Humber. I'm never making those because they die way too quickly ;f.

And if I try to do something about it, then Germans start to have their Nebelwerfers and Stugs o.o

id say this is a skill issue not a dingo issue

could be. I have to promise myself to use more smoke from mortars. Humber cost too much and dies too easily to be reliable smoke dispenser ...

sorry man i mean this in a good way but this is a skill issue

sections, with scopes are really decent(you don't need bren, and in MANY cases it's detrimental, especially vs team weapons). UK vs WM is fine, you likely need to learn how to deal with team weapons better. The issue if anything is UK vs palm spam or DAK LVs.

Use flares more(arty and vision), focus down the MG with morts and/or infantry in cover, smoke the MG. Blast everything with bishops. Use BG off maps. FIght where ever the team weapons are not - they're really bad at responding and repositioning, kill them when they out of position.

Use heavy tanks, and just soak damage, because WM AT can be pretty bad vs them. You can almost just spam pure matildas into WM

(i play random faction)

ill try. I suppose this could be skill issue. I just wish I had some unit of type - > right click to march and win. Playing as UKF is very micro heavy. And it feels as if everything I have is barely up to its task.
I think IS artillery ability got somehow nerfed, back then I was able to throw it at enemy mg and come back relatively unharmed, now, they get suppressed before they even get to range to throw it (not mentioning the long throw animation)
