Thank you.

general thinking is if you've got the slots and weight then any clan mech with lasers (ie all of them) can benefit from a Mk1 TC. as you go up in TC size the benefit is reduced not because they arent better but the opportunity cost of equipping them is greater.
Having said all that, I ran a triple LL, range module, adv zoom TC7 hellbringer for a while which was awesome fun, on the few maps where you can actually use the insane range (alpine, forest colony, faction warfare)

Wait, wait a min. So the bigger the computer the less benefits you get from it, am I understanding this or did I just misunderstand... Please someone clarify...

It should be mandatory for LRMs and SSRM's.
One other note, it allows your teammates to see that ECM mech near you and shoot it. Some times you see a mech going in circles, just before it dies. So it allows more situational awareness for your team.
Targeting computer allows you to get targeting information faster, zoom in more, extend targeting range, extend laser range and I think ballistics. One thing I am not sure of is how it affects the speed of targeting for the LRMs. I think it does, but TAG and Artemis or TAG and NARC also stack for the bonuses for target lock.

Interesting, this is good to know. This is why I ask the community for information like this, heat sinks are a necessary in any mech, so the less space taken up by other modules the better.....

only the (Clan or Beagle) Active Probe allow you to detect powered down Mechs, it also increases sensor range by 200m, gives you target info faster and counters ECM.
what type of missiles do you use?
the AP is great if you are taking LRMs or SSRMs because it counters ECM allowing you to get a lock even if an ECM Mech is within ECM range, the TC gives no benefit to missiles

The reason given (sometime way back) on why the tooltip doesn't show the range increase, etc. gained from a targeting computer was that entering the area of effect of an enemy ECM will disable the bonuses received from a TC.
Well, I, for one, didn't know ECM affects targeting computers as well.
