R4 Argomech, Blaster Turret and BTL-A4

As I read it, when I use my Focus in order to fire my Blaster Turret, I get a free Target Lock on the defender, right?

I am fairly sure that I am right, but it seems too good.

With the BTL-A4, I fire my primary weapon, I still need to have a Focus token in order to fire my Blaster turret, right?

My buddy was contesting that interpretation, so we rolled off to keep the game going.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. The R4 is very good.

Yes. The turret attack is made exactly like any other attack with a turret weapon. If it has any special conditions that have to be met (spending/having tokens, range, etc) they still have to be met, any effects that say "when you attack" will trigger, etc. The only thing the title card does is allow you to make a second attack after a primary shot instead of having to choose between the primary and turret weapons.

Yes and yes.
