What's the standard time for it? The module only says it increases it to 2.75.

[El Bandito]

1 second-ish.

Really, a 275% (350%) increase? Seems somewhat OP then.

No clue on the actual number, but it seems to be around 2 to 2.5 seconds. It's certainly not 1 second.

Seems less OP when you realize that going from 1 to 2,75s isn't a 275% (or 350%) increase.

Its barely noticeable in the heat of battle anyway.

Target decay is OP for lrm mechs
Coolant pods are OP for beam mechs


Blah blah...


Its good on an lrm mech for hitting a target that goes behind a small hill. Doesn't help if they go behind a big hill or building. It doesn't seem to help if your lock is from a scout on your team either, but I'm not 100% sure about that...

Frankly I don't think the target decay is working, I just got it a few days ago thinking it would help me see the movement of my targeted opponent for a longer period of time when he or I move out of direct sight from each other. But frankly the targetting frame still disappears after a little over a second. Color me unimpressed.

I know that. What I don't know is what the standard length is.

You might want to try using Wolfram Alpha when being witty with searches. An increase of 275% is to add 275% of the initial value on top of the initial value. That would result in 3.75 seconds.

I obviously meant 275% OF 1 second, only my wording was not correct. He was the one being snarky.
And I really don't think I need Wolfram Alpha for percentage calculation.



Also I did a few tests in the testing grounds and timed it at 2 seconds which I think is more reasonable than 1 second.

Apparently its a 0.75 s difference so it's not that much.

One does not notice the lvl 1 target decay.
One does notice the lvl 2 target decay.
There should be a lvl 3 target decay.
