Vulcan cannon upgrade

A Vulcan Tower was an upgrade for the component tower that was a major part of GDI forces during the Second Tiberium War

Description
A Vulcan Tower mounted a pair of cannons, which provided several advantages and disadvantages. First, these cannons made it extremely effective against enemy infantry and light vehicles such as Attack Buggies and Attack Cycles. However, against Tick Tanks and heavy assault units like the Cyborg Commando, it was extremely ineffective, both because its range was limited - allowing Tick Tanks to open fire upon it from outside of its range - and because its 20mm cannons were ineffective against heavily armored targets.

Usage
The low cost of the structure meant that GDI could deploy it very high numbers. Hammerfest base included quite a number of Vulcan Towers, which were used as exterior defenses. Due to the fact that it did not have any minimum range, it was sometimes paired with RPG Towers that were effective against enemy armor. Furthermore, as a rather low tech unit, it was present at all GDI bases from Phoenix Base to Hammerfest
