1% efectivity

I'm playing Barbarrossa scenario as Russian, when shock event turns up for 10 turns. It reduces all new purchased units to just 1% effectivity (not the announced 33%) for all the event length which means that these units are completely useless for combat!!! Is it a bug?

Like in real life, many of the Red Army units were useless for combat during first weeks after Barbarossa begins.

The penalty is way over the top now. It also encourages Soviet players to do weird things: like declaring war early (as in turn 1) and/or during poor weather, just to get this absurd shock effect out of the way in the most painless fahsion possible.
 
The old shock effect was fine.

I have noticed that strategically moving the Soviet units helps (depending on the relocation place). The turn after strategic moving effectivity returns to normal. This is definitely a bug because strategic moving is a workaround.
