Targeting
Advantages
Targeting provides many advantages. It is effectively a skill increase of one level in all weapon skills. This means that you do more damage and have higher accuracy. The GEP gun will also lock onto opponents faster. Even preplaced grenades do more damage if placed while target is on. This is particularly nasty when combined with the sniper rifle or other high damage weapons. The other advantage is more subtle, in that you can see how much overall health your opponent has left.
Disadvantages
The only real disadvantages are the drain, and the fact that you have to really pay attention to get the health info, and the health info is an overall number, and does not reflect specific body parts.
Opposing
The direct defense against targeting is to use ballistic protection. This will more than make up for the targeting damage bonus.
