Sensor tower: effectively the eyes of your weapon systems, Your indirect weapons(mortar, howitzer e.t.c ) can shoot any enemy that is within its own range AND within range of a sensor tower. I also believe that it increases the accuracy of you direct weapons ( cannon, machine gun e.t.c) that are in same said range criteria.
VTOL: This little beauty is used for automating your VTOL attacks. Create a squad of VTOLs and assign them to one of these, if an enemy comes within range of the radar then your VTOL's will take off and commence an attack on them.
CB tower: This tower has a long rang of view and its purpose is to seek out enemy indirect weapons, if you have a few howitzers for example connected to one of these, then they will try to take out the enemy artillery, but expect the enemy to have the same idea. focus on these would be considered a 'strategic' arms race as in oppose to a 'tactical' one...NOTE: its always a good idea to build one of these even if you have not yet invested in indirect weapons, because they can reveal enemy emplacements for you to attack with conventional means.
VTOL CB: Same as above but uses a VTOL task force to deal with enemy indirect weapons ( a squad must be asigned to the role).
Wide Spectrum Sensor Tower: suposedly combines all the above and does it better (i have only ever used them in replacement for standard sensor towers so i cant be sure of other roles myself)

EDIT: i use neither sensor or command vehicles as they lead you to depend on them and neither is very battle worthy. My main tactic is a rolling avenue towards the enemy, i set my tanks onto "damn they scratched my paintwork, best go back for repair". i then send them forward towards the enemy.. i Follow these with a support squad of engineers and a couple of repair units, the task of this support squad is to build light defences ( including sensors and firestorm howies) along the path of attack along with repair stations, and the repair station wayponts get moved to the front line of the war- so my tanks continuously move to the front, lob a few rounds at the enemy then fall back to repair before going again.
I know this sounds like a long winded way to win a war, but my poor sprites have the right to live and as a commander they love me for my low attrition record..hehe which means less money spent on units and more on research =)
: is it more clever to use command turrets instead of sensor turrets?
