A Targeting Computer is a sophisticated piece of electronics that helps MechWarriors target their opponents. The Targeting Computer can be used to help aim all direct fire weapons, including most energy and ballistic weapons. This results in a -1 to-hit modifier for all units that tie in, or the ability to aim for a location that is not the head with a +3 to-hit penalty. Clan Targeting Computers weigh one ton and occupy one critical slot for every five tons of equipment they control, while a comparable Inner Sphere version weighs one ton and occupies one critical slot for every four tons it controls. Total Warfare updated the rules to specify that pulse lasers and multi-shot firing autocannon cannot aim their fire, unless the affected autocannon are fired in single shot mode. In addition, an LB-X autocannon only receives the benefits if it is firing solid rounds instead of cluster ammunition.

Tweeking Targeting Computer
At it's default settings, the targeting computer in your unit is designed to give you the best of all possible situations, while excelling at none.
Some Notes :
- You must shut down to change your targeting computer mode
- Tweaking your targeting computer specializes it's performance in one general area, other areas will suffer
Targeting Computer Modes
Normal (N)
The default setting, this doesn't give any modification to any of your Base to Hits (BTH). This is the Default.
Short (S)
Setting your targeting computer to prioritize short range targets gives you a -1 bth on any target in short range for you weapons. However, Any target at long range recieves a 1. Medium range targets recieve no modification.
Long (L)
Setting your targeting computer to aim high at long ranges give yous a -1 to any target at long range at the expense of a 1 at Short range. Again, medium range targets recieve no modifier.
Anti-Air (A)
Aerofighters are the bane of the Mech'er community. These fast flyers provide a tough target due to sheer speed. You can tweak your targeting computer to give you a -2 BTH on any airborne target. However, Ground units recieve a 1 penalty.
