Overview
The Radar Station gives very wide vision and is the Tier-3 tech gate: with one standing, Advanced factories build the Mammoth, Tempest, Battleship and Spectre. Its range shrinks when power is short.
How to use
Build it as soon as the Advanced factory is up if you intend to go Tier 3, and place it where its vision covers the enemy's approach: turrets and artillery inside that circle fire at targets that cannot see them. Losing it removes Tier-3 units from the build menu, so defend it like a factory.
Counters
Bombers and artillery, which will target it precisely because it is the tech gate. It defends itself with nothing.
