Watchtowers are GDI's anti-infantry defense towers. They are designed to kill enemy infantry and are armed with twin 20mm automatic machineguns that are able to pierce through most types of infantry armor and reduce entire squads to mincemeat in seconds, regardless of their body armour. The platform the machineguns are mounted on are elevated and rest safely 30 feet over the ground.
With an IR spotlight and a next generation sensor package, the watchtower is capable of detecting stealth units in addition to its anti-infantry defensive role. In addition, it's programming prioritizes infantry, so that its efficency is maximized against combined arms enemy forces.
It can be upgraded with special Armour piercing ammunition.
