1.) Look in the UT-AT's .odfs (I think the property you're trying to change is referenced in the weapon's ordnance .odf)
2.) Are you really sure you want to do that? It will really throw off the ability to hit anything you shoot at.

2) i know but anyway i want because in barcspeeder or laat isnt problem because there is short distance between points :D

EDIT

they arentxD, because are crossed shooting to same point in medium, they must each one have his own point of shoot for to be parallel :)

Don't worry Deviss, you aren't insane:

Image

The guns point inward, the rockets fire inward, it has nothing to do with perspective (although sure over a longer distance it would look slanted in, but the above pic is top down at short distance). The game devs thought itd be good to have the ordinances actually meet at the point you were aiming at.

As for how to change this I don't know, it may have to do with the aimer nodes:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]AimerNodeName = "aimer_frontleft_gun"
FirePointName = "hp_firefront_L"
BarrelNodeName = "hp_firefront_L"
BarrelLength = "2.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-15.0 15.0"
AimerYawLimits = "-25.0 25.0"

NextAimer = "-"

AimerNodeName = "aimer_frontright_gun"
FirePointName = "hp_firefront_R"
BarrelNodeName = "hp_firefront_R"
BarrelLength = "2.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-15.0 15.0"
AimerYawLimits = "-25.0 25.0"[/code]

In the msh file, the aimernodes are parents of the hp_fire nodes. If you want to see what these things do, maybe you could change some of them to "dummyroot" which is centered at 0,0,0

modified odf of barcspeeder:

WeaponName = "rep_weap_hover_barcspeeder_cannon"
WeaponAmmo = "0"

AimerNodeName = "aimer_frontleft_gun"
FirePointName = "hp_firefront_L"
//BarrelNodeName = "hp_firefront_L"
//BarrelLength = "2.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-10.0 50.0"
AimerYawLimits = "-0.0 0.0"

NextAimer = "-"

AimerNodeName = "aimer_frontright_gun"
FirePointName = "hp_firefront_R"
//BarrelNodeName = "hp_firefront_R"
//BarrelLength = "2.0"
AimerPitchLimits = "-10.0 50.0"
AimerYawLimits = "-0.0 0.0"
this topic can be lockec problem solved thanks to rep :D
