The camouflaged pillbox used extensively by the Allies was, as it's name suggested, a camouflaged counterpart of the Pill Box. While more expensive to build, it could often take Soviet infantry by surprise, foiling attempts at Engineer rushes and possibly destroying light vehicles. It was also more heavily armoured than the standard Pill Box.

The Camo Pillbox was discontinued and replaced with the pillbox. Apparently, the cost and complication of maintaining two different systems was deemed not worth the extra expense.

Even with the element of surprise it was still not a match for standard Soviet Tanks. Once it's position was known it was vulnerable to aircraft and long-ranged units. The Pill Box was not seen in the First Tiberium War possibly replaced by Guard Towers.
