You're probably sick and tired of my guards suggestions, so here's one more to cheer you up:

since tank riders were used to defend against panzerfausts at close quaters, how about an upgrade for guards. I know they have grenades and an awesome long range weapon, but it'd fit their role as tank riders if they had a 50 mun or so upgrade to pps-43s: the reasoning being that the original squad is good for range, while the upgrade gives the guards quite a kick against at guns and infantry

another upgrade: for katyushas, the option for more racks. At a cost of 150 mun, the salvo is tripled to 48 rockets, giving a very powerful attack, but in addition, there is a significant increase in reload time

Katyusha is pretty goddamn powerful already for the cost, pop cap and fact it has no call in limits. Adding another rack would be overkill.

PPsH upgrade for Guards isn't a bad idea though... I usually only use Streky because of their PPsH ability, Guards are alright for their long range and AT grenades, but up close they can suffer slightly.

Yeh that's true, it was invented for Vehicle crews and service personnel (plus recon).

Not a bad idea, but we must consider the Guards high health and un-suppressable nature.

Absolutely, the guards are awesome, but this doesn't so much make them OP as give them a better chance in close quaters.
