Nope.

The weapons/arc are specifically designed that way. You need to pick one of the two, personally even on a cruiser with the Excel's turn rate I would still go beam arrays (minimum 6).

I wouldnt recommend this in the Single Cannon/Turret build, for the beam build you can get away with it.

With cannons/turrets, every time you take your forward arc off target you will be losing DPS - and most likely losing more than the rear torpedo will add.

On top of this, rear torpedos will lower your front arc damage.

Right now it's tac team, spread 2 and hy3. Think it's better to say.. switch out spread for CVF? I do love spead though when enemies are clumped, or is CSV more effective?
What DK said.

TT 1 > TS 2 > CSV 2
