The Confederates unique in numerous aspects, Global Upgrades being one of them. Global Upgrades, once researched, will affect Confederate vehicles, ships and aircraft. A force of Confederate vehicles, once fully upgraded, is just as good if not better than a comparable force of any other faction.

File:UpgradeConfederatesSpeed1.png | Rate of Fire | Autoloaders, filed down mechanisms, and removed safety features have lead to increased reload rates and rates of fire. Clip reload times are reduced to 65%. Units with limited ammo will have 150% ammo storage. |

These upgrades are for free, but each requires three minutes to develop. While it is being developed, it locks off all other options; you cannot build a dozer or start research on another upgrade without cancelling the one currently in progress.
