Hey all, hope you're all enjoying the festive season!
Quick Question: When submitting a 'Mech design today, I was unable to select which weapons I wanted to be linked to the Targeting Computer, it was an all or none situation. I ended up leaving a note on how to sort out the design if you want to use it, but I want it to be correct on the site. Is there any way to only select certain weapons to be linked to the Targeting Computer?
Many Thanks,
Alisa.

TC links to all weapons to which it applies. You can't make units with TC for only some of the weapons. See p. 238 of TechManual

Normally it's direct fire weapons excluding MGs, that the TC is tied to.

Okay, thanks for letting me know, I've always thought it could be selective because Sarna's articles are confusing, opps Confused I'll sort out my submission now.

I believe in most cases there's also a TC Comp column to indicate if the weapon is compatible with a targeting computer, so it leaves even less doubt as to what is and what isn't linked.
