May I ask a question about the weapon limit of warship?

Well,my calculating skill probably failed,because all the tonnages I counted for the fire control system in every single warships that have exceeded weapon limit are wrong.

Does the weapon limits meant that every single type of weapon is counted toward the limit or each type of weapon(capital,sub-capital,conventional...is AMS also a type?because it's not really a weapon)has a limit of 20?
On behalf of the Berserker,
Sure it isn't the most practical 'mech ever designed, but it's a hundred ton axe-murderer. If loving that is wrong I don't wanna be right.

Its total weapons, not by type.
20 is the max you can put in an arc w/o FC tonnage being added.
It doesn't matter if its 20 AMS, 20 LPL, 20 Heavy Naval Gauss Cannon, or a Mix of them all.

AMS counts towards limits, BUT, does not count for gunners.  So the crew is less but its still part of the 20 weapon soft-cap.

It does make the situation a bit awkward because you need to add hundreds of ton of fire control just to add an AMS

Use less weapons then : )
There are ways to optimize weapon placement as well.
