Just going to lay down some facts here: Target Decay was intended to give you 2.5/3.6s of additional lock on time for when you fire (poorly) at a target that is about to gain concealment and not cover. Target Decay + TAG gave you 4.6s of padding which, combined with a 160m/s velocity, offered a major window for pounding people with LRMs. What the new module will do is force people to LRM smartly, which way too many people don't do. It also forces people to utilize spotters which most people don't do. In essence, this cuts out the re-tard baddies that take way too much ammo and only have a sub-30% hit chance on LRMs. In that case, these people will cry their eyes out. For those that actually know when and when not to fire, nothing changes.
If you're firing at a good/great poptarter, countering with missiles is a bad idea because they're going to shift positions the second that they land. That means, even without the module, if you're firing at an excessive range, the missiles would simply land on the ground doing no damage anyway. If you're firing at a poor poptarter, they're not going to move which means the missiles land on them with or without the module. And, as I wrote above, if you're doing any of this without Target Decay and/or a spotter, you are wrong.

Get out of here, with your LOGIC and REASON
LRMs do not counter poptarts. Quick aiming and blasting em out of the sky is, however, very effective
