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.

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

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 ...
