    No need for dice shifts. The system design is already worked out in
my
site. See it for details here:

Or quoted:
Other Weapons for Area Defense Systems
To use another direct fire weapon system (other than RFAC/2, HVC/3 and
HVC/4
equivalents), mount your chosen twin weapons in a turret, and work out
the
cost for the twin weapons. Multiply the cost by ten and that is the
price of
the system in points.
	The range of the system is equal to long range of the individual
weapon systems. To make this system consistent with the current ADS, the
DSII basic ADS/ZAD should only have range of 24" (RFAC/2 max. range),
and
the DSII enhanced ADS/ZAD should only have a range of 32" (HVC/3 max.
range).
	The ADS quality die is based on the size of the weapon: size 1
to
size 5 is D4 to D12 respectively. Draw damage chits equal to size class
of
weapon. Even though two weapon systems are fitted, only one set of
damage
chits are drawn. Damage validities as per existing ADS damage
validities,
i.e. all chits count.
	If you want, you can use a single weapon instead. Just install
it in
a turret, and multiply the points cost by 10. But, only RED chits are
valid.
If you want ALL chits valid, multiply the points cost by 20 instead of
10.
	Or you can install quad weapons. Just install them in a turret,
and
multiply the points cost by 5. ALL chits will be valid.
	You could install three weapons in turret, multiply by 5, but
you
will only get RED and YELLOW chits valid.

    Perhaps negate one gun's worth of artillery fire per THEL? Simpler
rule!
