'Real' Westernization was mostly countries bankrupting themselves trying to reform their military and happened after the EU4 era, so 'real' Westernization would mean taking it out of the game.
I feel like every time this discussion comes up it just gets the exact same response regardless of the suggestions and problems that people have with it. Can we at least admit that the current tech and modernization system could be improved and that it is worth discussing? At least consider the discussion rather than just saying, 'no' and ignoring it. That isn't really helpful.
Of course it could be improved and is worth discussion, but trying to make Westernization more 'real' while the tech system remains heavily abstracted really just amounts to nerfing ROTW, so try to discuss from a gameplay angle if you want your suggestions considered.
