GB forward guns

[Jinx]

that means that the gunboat gun slot is nothing but a weapon slot of lvl7 ( kusari ) or lvl8 ( orca ) - or whatever else on other GBs. - it allows mounting of any type of weapon up to its weaponclass. - since its a gun/missile hardpoint and not a turret hardpoint, you can as well mount fighter weaponry there.

now, a good thing about that is that this mount usually has a 360 degrees arc, its the guns itself that have a limited fire arc. - but since fighter weapons are much weaker in terms of projectile speed, its unadvisable to mount a fighter gun there... it messes with your aiming. - missiles however are a valuable addition, especially in fighter defense. - so a gunboat that switches its gun can usually mount a catapult or maybe a nicer missile there. - it won t really be of much use, but more use than a gunboat gun that can hardly outdamage a fighters minirazor and has a limited arc.

if its a lvl8 gunmount, it even makes sense to mount a debilitator there - cause the additional shielddamage is noticable against other gunboats / capitals. ( as long as you switch it off when you hunt fighters, cause the 750ms and the 1200ms don t go well )
