The logistics differences is killing my game. I see no point in it. Now that I am in North America fighting the Americans and Canadians, my troop are making no progress even when completely outnumbering the other side. It serves to only displease me. Is there a way I can disable it?

Try annexing someplace close to America, like Mexico, then have all your troops draw supply from there. By getting supply from Mexico, the Logistics penalties for drawing supply from Europe will be eliminated.
That might be hard. Since I am already having trouble with logistic penalty and am at war with Canada and America, adding more countries to the frey will put me in a worse position. I am fighting a world war practically on my own. I am more technically advanced than all the countries I am at war with but can't win. It is frustating. I am even losing on the defensive with more men. It is not really fair. What about another way to get rid of this?
If you use strategic redeployment you will change the supply base for units in remote areas even if you redeploy them back to their original locations. It will of course, cost seven-days movement time plus the time taken to recover lost organization.
HOWEVER
I have had mixed success doing this, in a recent TGW game I used this technique for a couple of French divisions in Budapest which I have taken from Austria-Hungary and which were supplied from the port of Split on the Adriatic Sea. Their new supply centre is Cernowitz, a province in Russian hands that is closer geographically but without a land supply line free of enemy units. The net result is that I'm worse off then before. Can't figure that one out and have not been able to determine what drives the selection of a supply base when strategic movement is conducted in conquered areas. I had some success using this technique to shorten my supply lines while conqueroring the Ottoman Empire but in Central Europe...
Also, when transports disembark troops over beaches, they retain the original port of embarkation as their supply centre which can lead to horrendous penalties when conducting trans-oceanic operations. However, units that are unloaded directly into a friendly port seem to adapt that port as their supply centre. Embarking distant supplied units and then immediately sailing them back into port seems to reset their source of supply to the new port and reduce the combat penalties considerably.
This is probably not what you wanted to read but it's the best I can come up with right now. Good Luck.

Yup its not really fair that the powerful USN and RN are smashing the Kriegsmarine convoys, Allied Submarine wolfpacks are sinking Germany's limited shipping, Wehrmacht troops in Canada are eating tree bark and when the Allies counterattack the Landsers are only allocated 5 rounds from the ammo depots. Panzers sit idle, out of fuel.
War is hell !
Invade Dominican Republic and annex it, then switch your troops supply source to there. At least they will have bananas to eat. Of course if the mighty Dominican Army's are too much for the vaunted Wehrmacht perhaps you should consider surrendering?

iirc so can you change "supply base" by splitting army
new army gets supply from closest depot
an army of x div is splitted in 2 armys 0 div in "old" and x div in "new"
Well i removed the stacking penalty see my topic :

I never bothered removing logistic penalty though since it was very easy to simply resupply at a local national province....
You just use allied land or annex a country and move troops there.

If you are playing Germany and you're going after the USA, then you must have annexed or puppeted England by now. The UK owns a few strategic ports near North America, particularly Newfoundland and the Bahamas. If the Allies are occupying that territory, liberate it. Then re-base all your troops (including the ones that are already there) to re-set their supply lines. Rotate them through these ports in small groups if you can't do it all in one go.
