Editing Battle Computer (Component)

The '''Battle Computer''' is a computer system located in the [[cockpit]] of every [[BattleMech]].  The battle computer is responsible for interpreting data received from the 'Mech's [[Targeting-Tracking System]] and [[Diagnostic Interpretation Computer]], turning it into useful information which the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] can understand, and coordinating the overall movement and fire of the 'Mech in combat.  When a pilot aims her reticle at a target and gives the command for a weapon to fire, it is the battle computer which carries out this order.  The battle computer can also act as backup for the DI computer, though at a much-reduced efficiency.<ref>''Classic BattleTech Companion'', p.234</ref>

The B-2000 is capable of coordinating an entire [[Brigade]].

''From [[BattleTech (Video Game)]]:''
* Tacticon B-2000 is featured in the 2018 BattleTech video game as a component of the ''Cyclops'' assault Mech which cannot be removed or put on other Mechs. Since the mechanics of the game do not allow to take advantage of its canon function (while mentioning it), being centered around managing a single lance, it instead improves Initiative, allowing the Mech and its allied force to act earlier in combat through "exceptional lance cohesion".

''From [[MechWarrior Online]]:''
* The Tacticon B-2000 is included in MechWarrior Online as a sensor system unique to the ''Cyclops'' that provides a 100m boost in sensor range of the ''Cyclops'' itself and any friend 'Mechs within 200m radius of a ''Cyclops''. [https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/226616-cyclops-faq/]
