looks like people have overreacted and now ECM has been over nerfed.
lets review.

ECM COUNTERS:
PPC
ERPPC
TAG
NARC
ECM
SRM
BEAGLE ACTIVE PROBE

thats 7 counters for one piece of equipment, no other piece of equipment in the game has THIS many counters, this is completely unfair to people that use ECM on thier mech and have spent money to do so.

Further more if you are using ECM as a missile platform then add AMS to that list of counters! lol guys!

why should ONE piece of equipment that you have to UNLOCK have so many counters? what if in street fighter every character has a move that only counters Ryu's fire ball. thats not fair? hows that fair?
well why does every character have a move to counter ECM? and ECM has nothing only counters lrms that cant shoot in brawling range anyway?

my idea is to make it so if you equip CASE on the same location as ECM then ecm is immune to all counters.

Umm SRMs and BAP not counters. BAP does not work if your inside the ECM bubble.


Except that these are true.

lets review.

BATTLEMECH COUNTERS:
AUTOCANNONS
GAUSSES
PPCS
SRMS
SSRMS
LRMS
LASERS

thats 7 counters for one piece of equipment, no other piece of equipment in the game has THIS many counters, this is completely unfair to people that use battlemechs and have spent money to do so.

I am sorry, I failed to read the entire post, since i was dumb founded. The last line does not make sense to me. CASE prevents explosions from spreading, some one explain to me how ... oh never mind... Lets not pile up on the poor boy, we don't want to violate any TOS. ;)

you left out the Mk1 eyeball, issue two each, you will NOT get a replacement so be careful with the paperclips!
Any ballistic weapon
Any energy weapon
PPC's do extra
Any missile except for streaks

wait, so ECM effectively only counters streaks...many anti-ecm posters have admitted they can only play in streak equipped mechs...I get the picture! awww that is so cute it makes it all different....Not!

Wow thats almost a dozen posters who hate ecm, and want it nerfed, that posted before I got in the door. Have you all resolved to hang up you LRM boots, and just sit here watching the forums with your arms crossed, frowning?
