Turret (Red Alert 1)
From Command and Conquer Wiki
The Turret was a tank-turret like stationary base defence used during GWWII.
[edit] Description
Finding themselves overwhelmed by the armored Soviet tanks, the Allies developed the Turret during the Great World War II. It had the gun of a large tank, making them capable of matching Soviet armored forces and was buried within a cement foundation. The obvious drawback is that it could not move so it can only be used defensively. Furthermore, given the fact that it was actually just a 105 mm cannon in a fixed location, it could not be used to 'scale' properly, against enemy forces, particularly if positioned poorly (IE, if enemies can attack turrets so that they can only fire back one at a time, then the enemies can use Mammoth Tanks to disintegrate these defenses)
[edit] Counters
During the Great World War II, these were extremely vulnerable to Soviet V2 Rocket Launcher, owing to the V2's long range and extreme power, and being fixed, these could not move to engage the fragile V2 directly. Turrets were also vulnerable to anti-armor infantry such as Rocket Soldiers and Grenadiers.
It was not seen again after the war.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The GDI Guardian cannon resembles it.
The turret was supposed to be redesigned for Red Alert 2, but as development progressed it was cut..
