Here are some surprises for you to absorb.
This sets the tone nicely.

Germany sent many formations to the West to rest, refit and train for weeks and even months.
They did. In the span of 1941-1944, before the Allies invaded. Dont recall that the Germans were sending formations to refit in the West in 1945. Nor do I recall reading that more than 80% of German manpower was being sent West and that the Eastern Front was being left with scraps of manpower week after week when the Soviets were at the gates of Berlin.

"I dont like it", doesnt make the necessity to replicate this a flawed game design.
This is a flawed game design because it defies common sense as well as historical evidence. Not because I dont like it.

Re-equipping entire divisions on the frontline wasnt feasible at all, not matter how much a player wants it.
Good thing that the refitting I am talking about is happening in depots to the rear and not on the front line. Oh and we arent in the Soviet Union but in German soil.

Play HOI4 maybe instead?
No, I will continue to play WitE 2 and post about whatever flaws the game has. Thats how the game improves on what is lacking. Doesnt change the fact that this is the best Eastern Front simulator out there, nor does it affect how much I love this game.
I have put countless hours in this game and was on board during development doing all kinds of bug hunting, reporting and testing. A lot of the features that have carried over from the improved WitE 1 (like losses by phases, NM showing in unit counters) are in the game because I pushed for it.
I have no intention of quitting this game, nor do I intend to switch to another one any time soon :D

And even then the manpower pool wasnt empty until the end of the war. Loads of severly starved formations in 44-45 sounds about right to me.
Clearly shows that you have not been paying attention to the discussion at all. The issue isnt that there are depleted or understrength formations. The issue is that the Western Front sucks up all the replacements and nothing is left for the East. A distribution of manpower where 85% is going west and only 10% is going East is not historical at all.
Neither is it historical that every formation in the West is swimming in men and equipment while half of the Eastern Front cant even reach 55% TOE.

If, as you say, Germany receives 15k per week (60k per month), this is hardly a flawed historical simulation result.
Reread the posts and you will see what my issue is. The last example is that the entire East Armies are getting 4.6k men while two AA regiments in the west got 7k men. How exactly is that historical?

Since there is a working work-around to the problem, that is historically accurate, I dont really see the problem here.
Fair enough, thats your right. And its my right to disagree with you. Just please pay attention to the discussion and make better arguments and not just: "go play HOI4 if you dont like it". Doesnt help your case.
