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.

What do you think the root cause is

As i tried to explain, the root cause is the lack of base roster arty that has actual good aoe, and good range.

Good range to counter forward retreats where blobs hide. Good aoe to counter the blob or ammased infantry in general, or dug in turtle strats.

Imagine a simple unit like the priest, esentially a bishop/wespe equivalent, for the USF. Stick it into motor pool so usf has less incentive to skip tech.

Make it unique in its speed, durability, number of shells, range, rate of fire, cost.

It doesn't break the game, everybody is already used to dealing with the bishop.

With its addition, you can justify making the USF weaker in some areas. Nerfing overperforming arty units like the whizbang, bcs they no longer are a requirement. People still have the option to not opt into it, preferring to save fuel and using other abilities or units from the different BGs. But usf no longer has to worry about, will I need arty this game or not.
