I have my VTOL's in from KR/GZG.  Very nice.

I'm looking the AV9 gunship and it looks like it has SLAMs. I can have one
class three so I decide that although it is two pylons with launchers for game
purposes I will call it one class three SLAM, it has to be in a fixed mount.

The rules for VTOLs say they may only fire within 30 degrees of their flight
path. The rules for fixed mounts say you may only fire before movement. Am I
correct in assuming that VTOLs may fire fixed mounts anywhere along their
path? May they partial move, fire, and finish their move? I don't think so but
I want to make sure.

No. VTOL fixed mounts are like any other. They must fire before moving
(exception would be a pop-up attack).

No. No unit in DS2 can make a partial move, fire, and partial move. Except
for VTOLs in a pop-up attack (pop-up above tree/ridge line, fire, duck
behind tree/ridge line).
