Navy SEAL (Red Alert 2)

"How 'bout a swim?"

- SEAL

The SEALs are elite Special Operations soldiers of the United States Navy and shared to Allied nation's Navy, appearing in Red Alert 2.

Background
They are specially trained commandos whose sharp aim with their submachine guns that can mow down infantry with ease. They carry C4 explosives that could demolish any buildings that they reached. They are trained to swim across bodies of water and qualified to operate in a variety of climates, including deserts, jungles, and arctic environments. Their submachine gun are waterproof and can be deployed inside water bodies without trouble. The submachine is somewhat limited in armour piercing capability.

They are not known to operate after the events of the Psychic Dominator Disaster.

Game unit
Navy SEALs are able to kill any infantry with one burst of a high-powered machine gun. If they can reach a building, their C4 charge will quickly destroy it. They are also competent swimmers, making their C4s a threat to ships as well.

The SEALs are not invincible, however. They have no defence against armored vehicles or aircraft. They also cannot get close to base defenses like Sentry guns or Tesla coils quickly enough and will get shot or electrocuted before they had a chance to plant their C4s. Infantry such as Snipers and Desolators outrange them and kill them off before they got too close. In the seas, submarines are a threat to them.

To add protection, SEAL can be deployed inside an IFV. It will enhance their speed and give protection against sniper and desolator but ban them from water related deployment or doing demolition job. IFV escort may be helpful against air threat.

Pros

 * Can be used as an one man army - A single seal can decimate an entire army of basic infantry
 * Can destroy whole bases with C4s if they're not well defended
 * In number they can stand a chance against light vehicles
 * Less expensive than Tanya and sometimes they work just as well as her.
 * Can swim and plant C4s on ships like Dreadnoughts

Cons

 * Next to useless against tanks
 * Vulnerable to any kind of air unit, even a Rocketeer can take down a SEAL easily
 * Still quite vulnerable to anti infantry fire
 * Also vulnerable against base defences because it has to get close to plant C4 charges
 * Not immune to mind control; can severely affect friendly operations when captured
