Here is an example of OCE. On sub operational level, the German Panzerhaubitze 2000 is superior to K9, but at both, operational and strategic level, K9 is clearly superior to 2000, especially considering the logistics, not just in OCE. One can have two K9s for the price of one 2000. While K9 becomes more effective than 2000 as the scale of battle becomes bigger, and the duration longer. Yes, Germans sometimes obsess with minor irrelevant details at the expense of bigger picture.
