I was circling with a spider then again with a raven in my raven. I had ecm and beagle but in both instances on two different maps I could not lock on with my streaks. there was no other ecm mechs near by either. is beagle no longer a counter to ecm.

You cannot have both on your mech. Beagle will not work if you have ECM on your own mech.

Beagle countering ECM doesn't work if you have ECM equiped.

1 beagle will counter 1 ecm, ecm can also counter if you switch it to "counter" (think its J default)

This is going to sound reeal crazy, and some are going to dispute it. What is you ping? also what are your frame rates (FPS)? You can press F9 in game and will display in top left corner.

reason I ask, 2 friends were having same issue. They would spectate me an ask "how the hell are you locking so quick?" And I would daily hear them saying they couldn't get a lock. They both unrelatedly purchased new better video cards and POOF the issues were immediately gone. No issues since the time they installed them. may be not related to your issue, but putting it out there.

ADDED- are you saying you were in a spider facing 2 ecm mechs? Then no, it don't work.

Keep in mind.. bug or not, Artemis decreases SSRM lockon times.

From what i have been hearing, there is a glitch with the BP of not really working quite right.

However, you should switch your ECM from disrupt to counter. While it reveals your position, it also reveals his and would let you lock on to him. Bonus points if you have a buddy/teammate nearby with ECM on disrupt too, cause that would protect you from missile locks but leave him wide open to your teammates.

There is no problem with BAP in this instance... it is intended that countering ECM doesn't stack with ECM when equiped on a single mech.

Oh, right...

A Mech with both ECM and BAP equipped will have ECM working like ECM but BAP only improves the Sensor Range and Target Info gathering bcs the ECM overrides the other BAP functions.
To block an enemy ECM you have to switch your ECM to ECCM, your BAP will do not so.
Artemis for Streaks!
