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 fired in slug mode, not cluster.
