Right now ECM + SSRM2 is kind of broken. It's not hugely broken, but it's an issue. It will become more of an issue when SSRM4/6 come along.

My simple fix:

If you have ECM and streaks equipped you only get to use the lock-on if your ECM is in counter mode. If your ECM is in disrupt mode, your streaks become dumb fire missiles.

It's really only a slight nerf, and a fair one IMHO.

I think that would be a decent idea. In fact, it would make the Mechs capable of using ECM and streaks more versitile. I use SRM6+Artemis and a TAG on my light Mech so I can shoot ECM lights with missiles. Under this setup, I could use streaks for the large Mechs and dumb fire them at the ECM lights that you can't even fire streaks at now.

It's been proposed and generally supported many times, and shall be many more. You should not be able to achieve missile lock whilst using an ECM in disrupt, switch to counter to lock.
