Throwback Thursday Throwback Thursday for 27th October

[Plok 319]

In this week's edition of Throwback Thursday, we look back at the strongest Allied naval unit... actually, the strongest naval unit in terms of firepower from the original Red Alert - the Cruiser. The cannons of this potent ship could decimate any unit or building with little effort, making it a viable artillery choice. The Soviets did not even have an equivalent for this unit until the Aftermath expansion pack, where they got the Missile Sub. However, the Cruiser was very slow and imprecise, and required a lot of micromanagement to properly aim at its target.

Never liked the missile sub, it was too similar in role and gameplay to the allies. I hate mirrors.

For contrast, what I liked about RA2 was things like Kirovs v Rocketeers... Prism v Apoc etc.
