The turret was a Nod anti-tank structure used during the First Tiberium War.

Background

“

For broad sweep, short-range protection against heavy assault vehicles. This is the staple of Nod's base defense, so be sure to have several of these around your base entrances. Fire-power wise, they are the equivalent of a medium tank's cannon—without the mobility. - Command & Conquer (1995) manual

”

It was a 105 mm AP cannon mounted on a concrete pedestal with a 360 degree fire zone, designed to compensate GDI's armour advantage. They also served as an effective defense against GDI Gunboats when built by the coasts.

Nod switched to the more general purpose laser turret by the Second Tiberium War.

Game building

The turret is Nod's ground defense structure although it is biased toward the anti-vehicle role. It may operate without power.
