There isn't too much on this in the clarifications and I know some where in the bowels of the internet there has been a discussion on this. Just a couple of points that have been clarified. With portee's here is the bit that I can find:
• Portees move like trucks and are targeted like trucks, but they are not transports, which means they can’t carry anything else besides the gun, and they stack as a combat unit. Each Portee unit is a gun and a truck combined. When listed in OOB, they come together, in addition to any trucks listed in that scenario. A Portee assaults with the same restrictions/leadership requirements similar to an APC.
Given this, they are targeted like trucks not like guns, I would decline the +1 shift for guns. They are unarmored so they will succumb to morale checks making them more vulnerable to disruption the demoralization.
That is good stuff, I would not decline the +1 shift in PzG Modern because in PzG modern there is no +1 shift for guns, it is replaced as a +1 shift for "unarmored weapon" however you want to define it - a truck with a gun (or specifically in my scenario, a Jeep with a 106mm recoiless) seems to be an unarmored weapon and certainly is NOT an APC since it is a 2 step unit. My 2 cents.
