what are the point of structures like the CB tower, VTOL strike tower etc? do they increase the speed of the mini map update, or do they do something else? :-S

The game can feel a bit vague on them. But I will explain for you
The CB tower is for your fixed artillery like Mortars, they detect enemy artillery and if yours is nearby they will lock on and fire on them.
I believe the VTOl Strike Tower detects incoming enemy VTOL's and scrambles your VTOL's to intercept them before they can strike at your base.

To be exact, the Strike Tower gets your VTOLs to attack everything in range, not just enemy VTOLs.

Knew I missed something. I was only ten when it came out so I was more into the Command & Conquer style of just pouring 30 odd tanks into an enemy base
Had to learn the hard way
Also, forgot to mention the CB tower will also command your artillery to fire at anything in range once the enemy artillery has been dealt with.

It's all moot gang. The "new" tower, (the one that came with the 110 patch, the one with the big green dish) takes the place of all towers ecept for the CB tower. You can asign VTOLs to it, you can asign inderect fire weapons to it, and you can even asign units to it. So that tower and the CB are realy all you need. That is in multiplayer games.
Now I haven't played in years and I don't know what up grades these guys have made yet but I dont think that you can get that tower in the campane ... Yet. xD
