So what are the fire arcs for the raider and Ravenger? is the Raid 360? Same with the Ravenger?

the front gun looks like it has a 180 arc from the front, as do both side weapons. but along the sides. since i would figure that none of its guns can shoot through the vehicle, but rotate to cover its side freely. basiclly to quote the rules "if it looks like it could rotate to face its target then it can"

definitely not 360 unless you can shoot through yourself, like Darth said prolly somewhere around 180

The weapons are 360, with the restriction that you cannot fire over yourself.

you just said they ar 360 but cant shoot through yourself. So they are not 360. So I am going to say 180 on all guns.

They are 360 apart from where you cant see through your own men / turrets etc.

It is a turret mount so starts off as 360.

Arrgh.

It's "Ravager."

I don't know how much of the 360 degree arc is left in practice, though.

Those new O.S.H.A.* approved side railings look like they're a bit limited on that front turret, and the Ravager's side mounts are mounted low enough that they probably can't traverse much more than regular side sponsons would.

I haven't had a chance to put a model together, and the front weapon mount looks iffy in the reference pictures. Does that mount clear the front part of the hull where the sides slope upward?

The front looks like it has about a 90* limited Traverse, and the Sides maybe about 210.

That is said by looking at pictures of the model, not having a physical model in front of me to measure.

The front might be able to get up to 180 without the gunner, and the Sides might have a full 360 if the barrels can swing clear of the deck railings; all in all the actual model is the determining factor in what kind of firing arc they have.
