Look, I'm not saying I can beat the tank rush every time.  I got lucky. 
But I know that I'm not a good player at all (I DEFINITELY KNOW THIS) . 
But, tank rushing is not a problem.  It is a strategy.  Another strategy
is learning how to stop it.  Besides, it's not like I build 6 airfields
and migs every game like that.  I usually go for the war factories, and
tanks.  I never tank rush early.  I have never tried it.  I never attack
early unless it's with a couple of v2 rockets and I'm trying to destroy
a power plant.  Anyway, the point is, tank rushes can be stopped, and
when people start to learn how, tank rushing isn't going to become very
popular anymore.

I'm not saying I can stop the tank rush.  I probably can't, but lots of
people can, so it's not a problem.
