Don't worry, LOAF, I got it.

But most of the guns mounted on the capships in WC are on turrents, and can fire in many directions, not just to the side. Therefore, the term broadside gun is rather irrelvant... <G>
 
They still don't have an unlimited arc of fire. Therefore there are places on ships that have a higher concentration of gun cover. You face in the direction that can have the most weapons firing at the enemy at once. Also, there are weapons that aren't really mounted on turrets... cap-ship torpedoe tubes, for instance.

... and this is especially noticable in the 'direct' water-to-space type ships -- like the WC3 cruisers or the Concordia supercruisers.
