So im running both ECM and BAP on my DC and 3L.. is this a waste of time now? I got confused after reading the patch notes. My 3l is decimating everything in sight now but my dc sensor range is ? able at best. Both have adv. sensor range 2 installed.
Thanks for the help

According to the patch notes, the only thing you lose out on when running both pieces of equipment are the ECM-cancelling nature of the BAP. You should still be getting the other bonuses from the BAP.

Also.. If we switch ECM to counter near a BAP equipped mech, will it counter his BAP? I just ran in to a Streak cat.. (In my 3L that the last place any light needs to be caught). He knew I was there before I ever saw him on radar or target reticle... I was looking right at the guy under 300m. Seems like the lights are hung out to dry in this situation.

He could have had seismic detector, he would have seen you coming from (maybe) 400m away.

I get this point from the patch notes as well.
But when runnin' BAP and ECM and i switch ECM to counter mode it should deactivate 2 enemy ECMs. 1 for my BAP and 1 for my ECM in countermode. Switched back to disrupt and no enemy ECM will be affected .
Would justify the sacrifice of 1,5 t and 2 critslots for BAP a bit more. This is a real issue these days of overheatin' high rollin' 45 alpha jumpsnipers...

Yeah its a pain..I would really like to see if it could counter a BAP. They see me coming from a mile away. I'd much rather be able to be stealh even at the sacrfice of missle lock.

That's my understanding of it. At least, that's what I understood the patch notes to be saying.
