Target Decay or 360 target retention

[Tea Lady]

Can't decide which to get first for my Commando 2D.

Target Decay is pretty good since 360 retention only works up close anyway.

Target Decay much more useful

Normally I'd say, Seismic and Radar Dep. then move on the 3rd like TIG. (For all kinds of mechs or build)

Target Decay good for LRM boats only.

360 is good for close quatter fast rumble.

I would say - get a new mech instead. :P

Well I'm leveling the Raven right now...

Advanced Target Decay is the third best module in the game next to Seismic and Radar Depreciation. Its good when you use a LRM boat. It is also good when you are spotting for other LRM boats. If you are leveling lights like the Raven and the Commando, it can be quite handy for spotting for your teams LRM boats. Radar Depreciation however cancels out any Adanced Target Decay however and is widely used.

yea i use seismic and radar derp a lot but 360 and decay i dont bother with.

if you want to live as a light i would say seismic is the number 1 module that you should have, the speed and acceleration of a light means dadar derp while still handy isnt as important.

people will say radar deprivation, but once you get to a point where you're good at the game here is best modules. Seismic, target info gathering, then radar derp (if you have 3rd slot you can fill) if you're LRMing then target retention after seismic, if you are long range sniper (over 800) then third can be zoom mod (but dont use it under 400 meters because as much as I've seen people shoot worse with this mod closer range).
Other than those modules, I dont use any other modules apart from weapon modules.

Also if you're using weapon modules and have several different weapon systems, first do range module. It seems non-intuitive and people put cooldown first. You will most of the time do more damage with range module. So if you're running lets say gauss/medium laser build, put medium range, gauss cooldown (cooldown for gauss because its crap now after nerf). If its something like medium/ac20, then range modules for both.

a good opening move in a match for a fast light with seismic plays like this ( flank using low terrain, take cover check seismic, move to new cover check seismic and repeat as needed, deploy uav and freekin run away lol ) so much fun.

there is a thing there in what you say, cool down mods on long range weapons and range mods on short to medium range weapons. definately i do this.

good reason is powerful long range weapons usualy have long CD timers and weaker short to mid have shorter timers so this modual combo serves to bring two aspects of your weapons into alignment ( rate and range ) it is a very good sugestion.

Cool looks like I want to focus on Seismic next, thanks!

target decay is only good on a LRM boat, that is activley leaving cover to look at his targets. it works well on spotters too.

[IRLDreams]

Radar Dep and Seismic are the best in the game, it isnt even fair.

PGI needs to bff the other modules up to par

[Dakota]

Target decay is also good on a scout/spotter, just saying. It also counters Radar Dep slightly by allowing you to continue targetting them about 1.5 seconds after they leave your vision.

[Shadow of the SPQR]

Both aren't great for a commando; radar dep is more expensive but is much more useful.

However, if you must go with one or the other, 360 retention can help in very close range combat and if you're in the habit of "shielding" after firing your weapons.

Target decay only use if you plan to scout and hold a lock/provide information for your team.

Seismic I personally consider lower than radar dep, but that's just my playstyle.
