Overview

The Gatling Turret is the MG Turret's upgrade: the same all-round targeting with a much higher rate of fire and a tougher pad. A wall of lead against anything light, on the ground or in the air.

How to use

Upgrade the MG turrets that see the most action: the ones on the enemy's approach lane and next to exposed extractors. In numbers it becomes a genuine threat to helicopters and light armor, but heavy tanks still roll through it; keep Cannon Turrets or Bastions alongside.

Counters

Heavy armor, artillery and bombers. It counters everything light: buggies, light tanks, drones, helicopters, gunboats.
