I have recently finished purchasing quite a few mechs of different classes. I am trying to start to fill out my modules and was wondering what the community consensus was on the hot and not so hot modules. I previously purchased the zoom module and was extremely confused why they would sell me beer goggles for 2 million cbills(and why i would buy it).

Which modules would be good for someone who likes to play mostly heavy brawlers and fire support? Should i just take 2 sensor ranged modules or is target retention or 360 targeting any good?

[Perillious]

for fire support, sensor range (and its upgrade advanced sensor range) + target decay
for brawling, 360 is nice but not needed unless you pair with an LRM boat to keep the target locked on as they circle strafe you.
Also target info gather is nice as a brawler so you can pick out the weak points on a mech quicker and focus fire there faster.

I have advanced sensor range, 360 targeting and gather info. don't have target decay but i do run a mix of mechs so take the advice with a grain of salt.

Hope that helps.

Yeah im not wowed by advance zoom either and am hoping it gets improved before game goes live.

My opinions:

Capture accelerator: a necessity for Conquest mode specialists
(advanced) Sensor range: If you carry LRMs and Streaks, you will want this if only because it extends the band you can lock onto ECM mechs in.
Target Info Gathering: Handy, but not essential, esp if you have BAP.
Advanced Target Zoom: a Maybe for snipers, but has rendering issues. Useless for most mechs.
Advanced target decay: For LRM boats, the best module. Scouts are the only other mechs to gain some benefit.
360 Target Retention: Really only needed by dogfighters, and scouts doing intricate manouevres.
