yes. One BAP cancels one ECM at close range.

Notably BAP will also not work if you are mounting ECM in Passive mode. Basically the effect does not stack with an ECM system.

Yeah, if you have an ECM and a BAP, you dont get to make any use of BAP's jamming capability, only the ECM's jamming capability when in CECM mode.

Also, BAP only jams ECM for you, not for other friendlies. It pierces ECM might be a better term.

This is an older post - but you mean to say, that if I have ECM in counter, and a BAP, its not worth 2 pts of "ECM cancellation"??

As this is older, if anyone can, please PM me answer. I figured if you gave up the tonnage, you should be able to either double counter, or counter and jam at the same time (1 effect from each module).

It's a relevant topic, so let's just put it out there for everyone to see. The answer is that one mech, no matter how many "things" it mounts, can only counter one opposing ECM.

ecm overrides bap in both modes... and it's bad because bap's range is 240 now while ecm in counter has 180 range

There was some misinformation on here. BAP cancels one enemy ECM and makes him targetable for the mech carrying the BAP as well as his friendlies. This is why sometimes you will see an ECM mech with a hollow triangle and ECM crossed off. The best thing to do is this case it press R to lock that ECM and focus all fire on him.

However, if the enemy has two ECM mechs in close proximity, a single BAP will only counter one ECM. The other ECM is still in effect, so the enemy with the countered ECM is still protected.

Thanks. On a further note, the range on ECM has been reduced to 90m, which applies both to active and counter mode.
