The Artillery Platform is a neutral defense structure that appears in Command & Conquer: Generals and its expansion, Zero Hour.
Description[]
Artillery Platforms were unmanned structures pre-placed on some maps, often on hilltops or near access points. Initially neutral and non-hostile to any faction, it could be claimed by any faction's infantry with the Capture Building upgrade. Once captured, the artillery platform automatically fires at the enemies of its owner. Its cannon is effective against vehicles, but has a slow rate of fire and a minimum range. It is vulnerable to infantry, who can quickly get close and either destroy or capture it. Additionally, the flight time of the projectile can lead to missed shots against moving vehicles.
Trivia[]
- The selection picture of the Artillery Platform is placed with the American faction's selection pictures, rather than with the neutral structures.
