my votes for mechs that need an ecm chasis
Awesome
Jenner
Trebuchet
Catapult
Battlemaster
Centurion
Shadow hawk
Cataphract
Dragon
Jager mech
Victor
Highlander
aslo there should be at least one hero mech with an ECM, i think a Victor or a highlander hero would be a good choice

Much like the military today, you have certain platforms that wield certain electronics and other packages, such as the f-117 bomber. They are meant to be virtually invisible, but can not take much punishment, than you have the a-10, it was designed to be a beast. Each chasis has its pros and cons, and I think ECM helps reflect this in MW

I do not understand their logic and mech choices at all.
Looking at the mechs in lore:
The commando should not get ECM at all. No production variants ever had it.
The cicada is the same. No production variants ever had it.
The D-DC should not get it either as it is the wrong variant. The K2 had ECM much further in the future but not the D-DC.
The jenner is in the same boat as the atlas, a variant has ECM in the future (10X), so it has as much of a right to it as the atlas, especially compared to the commando and cicada.
The cataphract, hunchback, and awesome are in the same boat as the jenner, they also do not get ECM.
The dragon, catapult, and centurion are like the cicada and commando, no production variants ever had ECM, but unlike the commando and cicada they can not use ECM.
The only mech that should have it is the raven 3L..
But PGI seems to somewhat ignore lore when it comes to ECM.
Looking at the equipment in MWO:
BAP – Everyone can use BAP, even mechs that never had it on any variant, like the commando, jenner, awesome, catapult, dragon, cataphract, centurion, and hunchback.
TAG – Everyone with an energy hardpoint can use TAG, even mechs that never had it on any variant, like the commando, cicada, jenner, atlas, awesome, catapult, dragon, cataphract, and centurion.
NARC – Everyone with a missile hardpoint can use NARC, even mechs that never had it on any variant like the commando, atlas, awesome, catapult, dragon, cataphract, centurion, and hunchback.
AMS – Everyone can use AMS (even though when it was introduced for all mechs some people complained on the forums that it would be the death of LRMs, but I digress), even mechs that never had it on any variant like the commando, cicada, jenner, awesome, catapult, dragon, cataphract, centurion, and hunchback.
But only 5 mechs can use ECM.

See what happens when you start down the road you're asking for here?
If you give every mech every option then what's the point to having different mechs in the first place? Just because your favorite mech doesn't have it doesn't mean it should be added. Why is it every other thread seems to involve "Hey I want everything available to me without any trade-offs."?
This isn't staples, there's no easy button. You want ECM, then take one of the mechs it's available on.

I wondered why there wasn't an ecm variant when i first heard the locust would be in the game.
