As you see, I am trying to build infantry, it claims I lack infantry equipment. While in the other screenshot, you see I got all factories on my infantry equipment I could get.

Not sure what else to do to make my country spit out units. This is a problem in this game most of the time. There is a huge choice of units, but I can barely build units and lack the freedom to make decisions.

you are lacking equipment, the USSR starts with an unequipped army.
you can see exactly how many from the logistics tab

You can click on the 5x and 10x buttons to the left of the area to add factories and put more factories onto it. The 2 main ways of producing equipment is building up production efficiency and putting more military factories onto the equipment. If you go to the logistics tab you can hover over the number of guns you have and if it's negative (you're missing 39872 as seen under how many guns you're producing a day) it'll tell you how many days until you have enough guns for everybody. As the Soviets you should probably have many more factories late 1940 so I'd search up a guide on how to efficiently build factories, or just a general guide on playing.

you're the ussr, your army is big enough that you dont need to deploy and shouldnt deploy until you have solved your severe gun shortage

I try the 10x thing, but so far building civilians factories (which I do in the background) just takes for ages.

yeah, but you have like 5 years to prepare for Barbarossa.
it doesn't matter that you don't have the equipment right now.
you will become stronger as the game goes on.

You have a shortage of equipment.

You have set the priority of reinforcement and new build the same. Except, the divisions you are recruiting have lower priority because they are marked as lower quality (the red chevrons), therefore they do not get equipment.

Generally, I adjust the priority for reinforcement and upgrade to low, garrisons and operations to high.

Looking at your manpower it seems you've chosen service by requirement or an option above it, which considerably slows construction speed and factory output (which will work against you producing guns). Extensive conscription is usually the max you'll need as the Soviet Union. And typically a Soviet game sees you building civilian factories from 1936 to late 1939 to early 1940, building civilian factories in late 1940 would very much hinder your gun production. Though as other comments said you still have a bit of time, and you should get enough guns to fill all of your divisions by the time Germany declares war. Building any factories as the Soviets shouldn't be much of an issue as long as you're building in higher infrastructure slots and on War Economy.
