TBF using dudes on horseback in a limited role still made sense in a lot of places where paved roads and railroads were rare and vehicles designed for off road operation weren't available.

Namtab posted:Oh yeah I never mentioned but Tanya has a ton of uppers on hand. Huh interesting. A quick glance at wikipedia seems to indicate that for amphetamine at least, it wasn't even discovered to act as a stimulant until 1927, and wasn't sold as medicine until 1934. I'm pretty sure they would mostly have had access to booze and opiates in WWI. Looks like amphetamines and meth didn't enter the scene until WWII where they saw use by both sides and heavy use by the Germans and Japanese. I guess Tanya made friends with some chemists on the side at some point (and somehow knew how to cook speed and meth).

Also a U-boat wouldn't be cruising along above water at this point. Even through WWII they spent most of their time on the surface and only submerged when preparing to engage or evade the enemy.
