So SC had recently released a commercial involving a Sniper Tower. Here's my take of how it'd go in the real game.
Setting: A couple of Sniper Towers that have good contact with each other.
A Sniper: "Looks like that Gunboat is aiming right at us." Another Sniper: "Don't be ridiculous, destroying this Sniper Tower would provide no strategic advantage."
A barrage begins from the Gunboat, and destroys the first Sniper Tower completely.
People on Gunboat: "I stand corrected Commander. It is super fun to destroy something that provides us with no strategic advantage. Let's head home."
