i beleive there is a serious with the upgrades, aside from the muni problem, of which there are few very good solutions proposed by community members.
When you upgrade, say, nkvd rifles, only new squads get the upgrades, aside from the molotovs. this does not support unit preservation as much as it should, and i think an army which supports unit preservation more is a better formed army.
Also think that by the time you get this upgrade with 200 munis are you really gonna buy more conscripts when you can get much better units for not much higher costs?
i think that the already made conscripts should get them, not immediately but when they reinforce all squad members that died without a rifle get a rifle when they're replaced and you pay a reinforce fee to get the guy with a pistol in black, and so on

I disagree with the global upgrades affective active units for the soviets, mainly because the way upgrades work now forces Soviet players to choose how much MP they're willing to commit to unupgraded units.
For example, if a Soviet players spams concripts (or ingenery espically) early, then should any of those units survive when the upgrade comes, they'd represent a loss of manpower points. Unintentionally or not, this dynamic gives pause to the SU player on how much MP he's willing to commit to early game spam.
tl;dr version: Leave upgrades alone.

then i would think there should be a middle point

i think the muni cost should be lowered a bit its outrageous its like calling in a American bomb plane to get a few extra rifles for a squad that can't kill shit otherwise even with them.
