No, you can fix it using the sp fix function of shp edit without moving the gun.
Just move the crosshairs around until its right.
That will displace the centerpoint of the icon in the hex. But AFAIK this centerpoint must be the same for both turret and body, i.e. the common rotation axis, otherwise your turret will end up wandering all over the roof of your vehicle.

Or is there a way to use SHPed to offset (dynamically) the turret axis from the vehicle rotation axis?
I know there is an 'offset' value in the SPfix module, that I never saw used.
If someone knows about that, I think that feature could come in handy
I have not had a problem using sp fix..
in fact, I have moved alot of the ID flags on top of the vehicles so you can actually see the vehicle Icon when you have the id flags on.
