This came up on the French ASL forum, and we didn't manage to reach a clear understanding of the rules, so I thought I'd call on the larger ASL community's wisdom. I made a search of the Q&A for C3.22 and D3.12, and didn't find anything.
C3.22 allows a Gun (vehicular or not) to "freely" change its CA at the end of a friendly fire phase in which it would still be allowed to fire without Intensive Fire.
D3.12 says something similar, referring to TCA:
Now, say a non-armored vehicle has a turret-mounted Gun, but no other weapon. Can it turn its TCA (without firing) at the end of, say, Defensive Fire if not marked with a Fire counter? Can it turn its VCA under the same conditions?
And what about an AFV whose weapons are all turret-mounted - can it still decide to "freely" turn its VCA (instead of TCA) under the same conditions?

D3.12 says something similar, referring to TCA:
Here, however, instead of "vehicle", the word used is "AFV" - which means a vehicle with at least one armored facing; and it only mentions turning VCA for a non-turret-mounted weapon when it comes to this "free change".D3.12 said:The TCA may change as a result of firing a turret-mounted weapon outside its current TCA and the VCA may change for firing a turret/bow-mounted weapon outside its current VCA (Case A), or at the end of any friendly fire phase in which the AFV is eligible to fire (a turret-mounted weapon for TCA or turret/bow-mounted weapon for VCA) without using Intensive Fire (as per C3.22).
