Does that mean we'll get a ECM Grasshopper variant?

[Triordinant]

Black Knight and other "command" 'mechs like the Atlas D-DC are candidates for ECM.

[Mcgral18]

Not timeline or lore appropriate, but neither was the DDC, or the Cicada, or the Spider.


There are only 2 lore ECM carriers, the Loki and the 3L.

And the Mist Lynx, and the Kit Fox.

Otherwise they've avoided it in the IS.

True but hey, why not.

The 7K has an ecm apparently

These fancy new Clam mechs are hard to keep track of.

Also 3068; a tad out of the timeline.

Actually Black Knigh, and Cyclops are both candidates... maybe we will get an ECM package for the IS

Yea I know but...

what's a timeline anyways?

[Fishbulb333]

Clan gets an ECM heavy so automatically the IS should get one too? Fine, where's my ECM stormcrow or dire wolf?

Here's your ECM Nova and Gargoyle

They have more or less adhered to it so far, and I personally like the fact that they have.

Oh have they?

I honestly don't know, I don't know much of the history. That is pretty cool though if they are

Yeah I was going to mention this. Clans get two ECM lights, one of which might be DOA due to being only a 25 tonner that is slow for a light and an ECM heavy.

Is has what, 3-4 ECM lights, an ECM medium and a ECM Assault. No real shortage of ECM there if you ask me.

So if we add an IS ECM heavy, then for balance lets give the Ice Ferret an ECM torso to act as a counter to the Cicada and them perhaps give the Gargoyle an ECM torso as well (Dire already has too much going for it and Gargoyle looks like it is going to need some love from the get go...ECM might even make it more useful than a Timber Wolf).

I'm pretty sure you dont want ANY MECH with 12 er med laser to have ECM. The nova would SHRED things as a sniper with ECM....


On second thought.....GIMME!

Well...If the Loki is a ECM heavy....

then...

"We are all screwed" is the correct answer.

And they should, because with the Clans practically nerfed back to the Age of Terra, they should have at least one advantage over the IS.

Think of it this way:
When the Hellbringer arrives, clans will have to choose between the TBR and the HBR.

ECM is not OP or anything, so clearly the choice is TBR... and you do not have to worry about the Hellbringer after everyone has mastered it.

HBR + TBR x 2 + SC x 3

Would be a roving death squad moving at 90kph and hard as hell to kill.

Good luck with that.

[RustyBolts]

When the Clans have the exact same number of ECM mechs as the IS and in the same weight classes, the IS can have a new ECM mech.

But at least it is not THREE timberwolves!


(Oh, and I fully plan on making a team of 3xGAR, 2xTBR/1xHBR, 3xSCR, and 2xKFX/1xMLX. It is going to happen, and it is going to be an 89kph stealth deathball.)
