- Variable shell types: The Squall-class turrets feature a couple of different shell-types. The most common shell used is a standard shrapnel flak shell used most generally for flak walls. A second variant of the shell is filled with Mag-pellets instead of shrapnel, that allows the burst shells to to have some minimum tracking ability after detonation.
- Fast tracking mount: The turret mounting of these flak turrets allows them to quickly track more close range targets and fast moving targets.

The Squall-class quad flak turret is a weapons platform was a set of four, smaller caliber coilguns that fire a flak burst shell in order to create a defensive walls of flak. The turrets were designed to function as a form of point defense for various warships. Capable of firing standard and mag-pellet burst rounds, firing rapidly, and functioning with their own targetting system, the Squall-class turret function quite well in their roll. On the flip side, their low accuracy, limited per shot damage output, and indiscriminate nature are things to worry about with this system.
