We use the following:
The "# of weapons per vehicle" limit counts only 
-weapons of Size class 1 or more
-GMS
-PDS
-ADS
-LAD
-Artillery
All other systems, including electronic systems, APSWs, and infantry
teams do not count towards the limit.

And no change to the capacity cost of any systems.

Aditionally, I think we see a finer granularity to the Vehicle Size
Classes in our games, as I would place most modern MBTs as Size 4 or 5,
and vehicles like the Bradley and Sherman as Size 3.  Sci-Fi
superheavies like the 40K Baneblade or the B5 GROPOS Windsword I'd call
Size 6.  <shrug>
