Neither do I normally. However...

Ahem. "VTOLs may employ small turrets that may hold APSWs or class 1 
weapons only"
It has to be CLASS ONE. Otherwise I wouldn't ask the question.

As it's a transport VTOL I may decide to make it a triple APSW 
instead. Transports have no right to go tank hunting so it's better 
to put the best anti-infantry weapons there.

On the other hand, in another thread someone is making the same model 
Size 2 rather than Size 3.
