According to the description on pg9 these are size 1 and 2 weapons and
should cost 3 and 6 capacity pts  if mounted on a turret.

It doesn't seem to say that in the rules. But I do as you assume: fixed
mounting, 2 and 4 capacity; turret mounting, 3 and 6 capacity. It works
great for simulating M113 with turret mounted twin TOW launcher
(Turreted
Twin GMS/H -- 6+4 capacity = 10 cap. Just right for a size 2 vehicle).

the
command team  like weapon/artillery systems which are assumed to have
space
for the crew/gunners or do I have to spend 4 capacity pts for the
command
team and assume the Command/comm system only has space for the
comms/computer operators and equipment.

I've assumed that the command team are inside this, and if the vehicle
is
destroyed, they get killed as well. Perhaps the rules for vehicle crew
could
be used? It's something that's not come up in my DS2 games.

BTW, check out my site for other neat DS2 stuff.
