Pillbox and Sentry Gun is the basic defensive structure of the Allied and Soviet factions respectively. They are completely identical in power and armor so a comparison between each other was quite pointless.

One question that needed to be answered was whether the Pillbox has to rotate in order to attack. The answer is no. The Pillbox doesn't have to rotate in order to attack and this is what makes the Pillbox slightly better than the Sentry Gun despite their equal cost.

In the first test with the timer they both ended up attacking at two different direction in the exact same time. This happens because there is still delay between continuous attacks, something like attack speed. In such scenario it can be misleading and give the impression that the Pillbox has to rotate. So, by the time the "cooldown" of the attack speed is ready it gives time for the Sentry gun to rotate and attack once it faces the target while the Pillbox despite that it doesn't have to rotate and faces any target still has to wait for the attack speed "cooldown".

In the second test where we put aside the attack speed recharge time it's obvious that the Pillbox doesn't have to rotate. A target that will approach the Pillbox from any direction will be attacked instantly. As long as the next target comes in time when the Pillbox has recharged it's attack speed it will instantly again attack it despite being on the opposite direction.
