Newcomer / Intro Cobra Weapon Turret Mode won't change

[Brutus Six]

I have 4 gimbal multi-cannons on my cobra. In right hand screen's Functions tab I can't change Weapon Turret Mode, its stuck at Forward Fire. I've use the weapons for close to a week so they work, track in front of the ship and gotten kills above(I think can't see but gotten bounties while ships were above and out of my sight). Yeah so its in a fire group and turn on in modules. I can change gunsight mode, brightness and everything else in the Functions screen, so the key binding is correct. Am I overlooking something? Are the hardpoints on a cobra set so that the use of gimbals is prohibited. Am I bugged?

Your multi-cannons arent turreted. You dont have any weapons are are turreted, hence not being able to change turret mode.

That option is only for the turreted weapons.

You basically have 3 variants of weapons: fixed, gimballed, and turreted.

Ok thanks. I'm usually faulted for reading things to literally but in this case it is what it says. But I sorta remember (memory is Teflon coated these days) seeing a weapons gimbal mode once and thought that since its not there It must of been combined with the turret one. Maybe I just dreamt it... lol

You usually know if you have turret weapons, cause they are A LOT more expensive e.g. 500k credits for a turreted laser

Yeah, it's like "waving-about guns, waving-about a bit guns, and the not-waving-about-at-all guns". Sorry to get all technical...
