As long as they have that, I find it hard to justify the LMG upgrade. 
grens are meant to scale. cons are not. the majority of soviet doctrines have elite infantry for a reason.
If that wasn't enough, their vet3 got changed and they have defensive bonus no more, so they die even faster then 4 men squads against small arms.
Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.
maybe before calling people out, check your facts.
