When a unit is selected and we go to the upgrade menu, it would be nice to show the + and - numbers to reflect what the NEW statistics will be when choosing a particular upgrade.

You could also color-code them for green & red.

Personally I'd like a short description as well, reflecting what improvements are made to the unit. Something like:

"Adding increased frontal armour and a higher calibre gun, the Pzkw X is better equiped to deal with enemy heavy tanks".

Neat idea, but not clear enough how to implement. Or you suggest to just manually add such a string for every unit?

Yeah, it would basically be a brief historical explanation of the units' improvements and/or abilities. Particulary for new players this would be useful, because it's not instantly clear what the difference between - for example - a Stuka and a BF 110 is, when both are listed as tactical Bombers.
"The Ju87 'Stuka' divebomber is designed for precision bombardements. It excells at disrupting enemy formations, but is vulnerable to enemy fighters."
"The BF 110 heavy fighter is capable of attacking both ground and air targets. It is effective against bombers and outdated fighters, but cannot compete with most modern single-seat fighters".

Things like that.

In your example it works OK, but imaging writing something meaningful for EVERY unit in the game. This sounds more like a good popup for tutorial. For example, when you enter the bomber section in Purchase, we might want to explain this. So not for all units, just for a few most important ones.
