from the vehicles design area, it appears that linked weapons are more effective than the equivalent "larger" weapon.
Appart from the ability to improve the "to hit" by firing them individually, if you fire them linked you do an additional dice per extra (upto +3)
so linked Field Arty is more effective than Medium artillary (It's smaller, faster firing, has the same range and uses less ammo)
Quad Medium lasers have the same range and damage as Heavy Pulse Lasers, are less than half the size and a thirtieth of the price.
Is this intentional I wonder.
Note that the gain is offset if you need the extra range of the big weapons. and nothing on the table can compete with the big, high-tech weapons
