gun-mount to CD-mount adapter?

[Ursus]

Somehow got to wondering why not make a CD adapter that fit the gun mount of a bomber. If it was going to support all of the different types of CD then it would need to be an adapter that provided a new CD mount when installed, which may not be possible (dunno if the engine tolerates changes to the mounts). Otherwise it would have to be sold preconfigured for each desired type of CD (of which there are many).

Balance issues don't seem bad to me... The 3 bombers that already have 2+1 would not need it, but almost every other bomber would buy it, since it would free up the CD/T slot for a torpedo. They'd be shedding a gun-mount in the process, so the larger bombers would keep their advantage. As for bomber vs other classes, it would be powerful but if the 3 2+1 bombers aren't overpowered versus other ships then none of them would be. I can see it being powerful, but I don't see how it's more powerful than say barghest already. Powercore would be the limiter for the smaller just like it already is.
