	This tag forms part of the turret changing logic {{ra2}}, either as part of {{f\|IsChargeTurret\|yes\|link}} as in the case of the Prism Tank, or as part of the IFV passenger-based turret logic using {{f\|Gunner\|yes\|link}}. It is also used by the Gattling tank weapon spooling system added in YR.

	~~==IFV Logic==~~
	Weapon number 'N' (ie. Weapon1=someweapon) specifies the weapon available on the named turret with the value of 'N', for example ShockTurretWeapon. One possibly confusing aspect is that the turret used, as defined by the named turret index doesn't have to match the weapon number, many of the IFV weapons actually use the same turret art.

	There are 13 IFV turrets in the original RA2, expanded to 17 in YR, defined by [[TurretCount]], but not necessarily matching the [[WeaponCount]] as there can be more weapons than turrets. In RA2 this means there are Weapon1 through Weapon13 tags on the IFV, along with [[EliteWeaponX\|EliteWeapon]] versions. There is also a special case for NormalTurretWeapon which applies without a passenger too.

	Infantry meant to board the IFV must have [[IFVMode]] set to to select the weapon the IFV will have when loaded. Importantly, the IFVMode value applies to the IFV turret weapon, not the turret index, so while the Initiate has IFVMode=13, matching InitiateTurretWeapon=13, it does not match InitiateTurretIndex=3.

	~~{{HorizontalBar\|[[Image:Cc_documentinfo.png‎\|24px]] In YR there is a similar but unrelated [[OpenTopped]] logic, where infantry specify their [[OpenToppedWeapon]] instead.}}~~

	~~==Charge Turret Logic==~~
	~~This use of WeaponN is decoupled from the turret changing, and instead only uses 1 weapon for multiple turrets, and as such WeaponCount will always be 1, while TurretCount will always be higher.~~

	Charge turret logic also works backwards, and should be considered more like a 'cooldown' turret, with the turret changing sequence happening after the weapon is fired. In the case of the Prism Tank, the reflective flap is closed until fired, then fully opened immediately after, slowly closing thereafter, rather than getting into a firing state just before firing.

	The charge turret logic can also be used more simply to mimic loaded and unloaded stated, similar to [[NoSpawnAlt]] on {{f\|Spawner\|yes\|link}} vehicles, with turret 1 art showing a loaded state, and turret 2 showing unloaded. The main behavioural difference, aside from the projectile not being an independent spawned [[AircraftTypes\|aircraft]], is that because it is a turret, it can face the target without the whole unit having to turn.

	~~==Gattling Logic==~~
	~~See: [[IsGattling]]~~

	~~{{Bugs}}~~
	~~In the original games, there can be only one IFV unit, hardcoded to the unit named FV.~~
	*Ares fixes this, and allows any vehicle to function as an IFV, with more turrets: https://ares-developers.github.io/Ares-docs/new/gunner.html

Specifies the weapon number 'N' (eg Weapon1= etc). For each weapon possessed by this VehicleType with Gunner=yes set, you must specify what that weapon is with the multiple use of this statement, starting the numbering at '1'. The only example of this in Red Alert 2 is the IFV. This statement is a special case method of specifying multiple Primary= weapons and acts in the same way.
