Because of how freight moves.

Starts in the NSS, uses the rail capacity available in the Reich (lets simplify), goes as far East as it can and detrains - its 'train' returns to the Reich for next turn

Its now in a depot, if its not claimed by a combat unit (using trucks) then it uses the LOCAL railyards to entrain and move again.

So two huge advantages - its not now taking trains from the Reich and it has less distance to actually travel so doesn't need so much rail capacity to overcome any SMP penalties


and it does not apply to my example? On the next turn depots #3 and #4 will not use their local railyards (in 30 hexes? ) to get a maximum possible freight?

The other bit is situational. There are times when yes, you want everything getting used now at the front. There are times when a reserve under your control is far better. You don't ideally put your entire army into the front line unless you have absolutely no choice - you try to keep a reserve?

Sometimes i can afford it. But it was my first game vs AI. And now its only t5 in PvP.

Also there are some weird situations like this when rail line in the middle has lower usage while previous and next rail has greater.

2 possible reasons - it keys off earlier usage (last turn/6) or there is a random element (this reflects accidents, local disruption and so on)

Yes, that happens to me too. I learned not to look at those numbers anymore with the Axis in GC because, they are meaningless.
