A Turret=yes vehicle drawn from shape artwork always casts the shadow of its hull, not of its turret. The shadow frame is the hull’s current frame plus half the frame count of the shape file: hull frame 45 in a 240-frame file casts its shadow from frame 165. No setting selects a different frame. A voxel vehicle uses ShadowIndex to choose the section its shadow is drawn from.

Stock art sets UseTurretShadow=yes only on the Mammoth Mk. II, a voxel vehicle.
