Was testing a build on the training grounds and had a glitch happen where the red triangle and brackets did not show up though it did say "mech targeted." I was still able to lock on with missiles and fire no problem with the reticule on the mech. Why can ECM not do this instead of making the lock weapons unlockable but still hiding the unit's location and status. Basically if you mouse over the mech your missiles will lock but no targeting data. Granted you would have to have line of sight and know the location of the mech but the rest of your team would not unless you informed them.

I could see this working, but really that's what TAG is for.

I'd actually be fine with Artemis allowing you to do this (and doing so would prevent Artemis from giving any bonuses).

Eh, ECM's ok now since the hitreg has been fixed, and the PPC buff.

This is true in pug games.
In organized matches with coordinated teams using multiple overlapping ecm fields its still really really broken; it makes 8 man and even some 4 man stuff a complete joke.

That's not an issue with ECM, it's an issue with the work in progress matchmaking. Drop limits will fix this.

Actually TAG is for Semi-Guided Missiles, Copperhead Artillery Rounds, and Arrow IV Homing Missiles.
