Well, when you look at some of the soviet toys, I'm glad the allies
have cruisers. They're amazingly slow, sometimes irritatingly slow.
Now a good soviet player will scan the water with a chopper
periodically to see if there is naval threat. In multiplayer, you have
time to send some subs out before it reaches your base. And as for
Tanyas, she's still hard to use effectively. If a base is well
guarded, with a couple of tesla coils inside, or flame turrets, she
can be killed before she can make any damage. She can't just appear in
a base like paratroopers can, she still has to make it all the way in
and unless you've already done some damage to take out towers and make
a path for the APC, she won't get in.
