If RUb was too harsh, players would be getting lots less tonnage than actual commanders. RUb still gives more tonnage (on average) than actual commanders, and it's relatively easy to equal or outdo the best aces. The standard game is a joke in this regard, since if a player can't outdo the aces by a significant margin, he must be doing something seriously wrong.
