Wouldn't the Whirlwind be a sort of GMS tank?

I did, too.

I agree. I can understand it (to a degree) for 'grounded' vehicles, but
I had a hard time with this for grav vehicles, so allow the old Falcons
to act as if they were turreted.

I did this, too, for the LandRaiders I have (gave 'em each an extra FC,
then restricted the fire arc to be Right Side/Left Side). I haven't
figured out how to fuss with the new Falcons yet (been no time to
*really*
give it much thought, either).
