From what they've said, it reduces the time you remain locked after moving out of site. Presumably, it should also counter NARC beacons (that nobody uses anyway) and I forget how it works in relation to Beagle Active Probes. I think it negated them or reduced their effective range while near enough to effect but I'm unsure.

Great to hear ECM is only available on specific light mech chassis (hopefully no the jenner, which is already the leading light)

I am hoping they go the EW hardpoint route like they do for jump jets.

They do it this way:


ECM
Target Date: December 4th - 60%
Status: Play Testing, Additional Feature Work
Notes: Working on balancing. Most likely will limit to specific Light/Medium Chassis for now (similar to how jump jets work).

Edit: Well ok I miss the "Most likely" but hey... :)

Actually it says some light and medium and it sounds like a temporary measure. BAP goes on everything so hopefully soon we won't have arbitrary limits. At least it's not only going on the Raven like people thought.

Well they say: Similar to jump sets. It hope they meant this not just for technical purposes.

and they say "for now" so I'm hoping it is only technical. Of course for now probably means a year by PGI time. :)

Amen, it would be nice for them to maintain reasons for actually having variety in chassis on the battlefield through mechanical enforcement of some kind.

They could give it to everybody, but give Electronic Warfare style mechs more modules (and modules appropriate for boosting ECM).
