The weapon hardpoints are located as follows: 1 medium hardpoint above the waterline and 1 small hardpoint below the waterline on each side of the cockpit (total 2 medium, 2 small), 2 small hardpoints located directly beneath the cockpit.  Due to the shape of the ship and the hardpoint locations, the medium hardpoints and small hardpoints share a small field of fire (i.e mostly directly ahead).  Pilots should be aware that Turrets in both Medium Hardpoints will have firing arcs above the cockpit where the pilot can generally see the target that the turrets are shooting at. However, turrets in all four Small Hardpoints will have firing arcs below the cockpit, where the target will tend to be obscured from the pilot's vision by the flight console and the floor.
