Actually, Clan needs a Medium with ECM. IS already has the Cicada and the Griffin with ECM. We all know how vulnerable an Assault to Lights if caught alone. An ECM Medium can serve as stealth coverage and Light deterrent for the Assault lance, especially if it has a few missile hardpoints for Streaks.

I say the Gargoyle is a perfect contender for an ECM...

However, be sure to put it in the CT or else it will creep onto all variants..

Correction - Make it on the GAR-C

I think the canon Gargoyle variant with ECM has it in the left torso. Who cares though its a Gargoyle. The ECM would be the only reason to take it.

Nvm, its a hero variant and it is in the CT

The Gargoyle hero would be, it's the only gargoyle config with ECM.

Conal Mr Gargles would be a wonderful addition; if not for the Jesus Box, for the TORSO MOUNTED WEAPONS!

2 Missiles in the same ST.

Not here yet. Maybe in Wave 4
Kingfisher has 2 ECM variants.

The KingFishers in question have Improved Heavy Med Lasers and the other has a HAG 30.
We aren't getting those any time soon.


The Fisher will be the next Assault unless timeline extends even further; or PGI creates 3 new variants. It won't be a very good robot.

When the endgame is probably going to end up with a Magic Jesus Box powered Dire Whale... it's hard to have hope for this game's future...

It's the CT, next to a Light Tag (replace with ERSL and be done with it)

It's still a direwhale. That's not exactly a big threat.

Alt. Config. C
The C configuration is configured to be highly mobile and flexible. The Dire Wolf C can jump up to ninety meters. The primary weapons carried are a pair of ER PPCs. These are supported by two new ATM 6 launchers which are capable of firing missiles that are intended for short, intermediate, and long ranges. The C configuration also carries four Medium Pulse Lasers and a single shot Streak SRM-4 launcher. The direct fire weapons are all linked to a Targeting Computer, increasing their lethality, and the C configuration is protected from enemy electronic warfare equipment with an ECM Suite. BV (1.0) = 3,290[1][9], BV (2.0) = 3,610[2][10]

Cry Havoc....

[WonderSparks]

As much as I want to see the Dire Wolf C enter service in MWO, last I checked it has at least one piece of equipment we do not have: a one-shot missile launcher. Which could theoretically be worked around, except I have no idea if the thing has any free crits or not.
If memory serves it may also be the one I thought I saw that had A-pods on it. Need to check that, but too busy atm. (Not that A-pods stopped the Hellbringer from being introduced, they just increased the stock armor on the Prime (I would have replaced them with DHS but w/e))

Still, ECM Dire Wolf would be nice.

EDIT: Nevermind, not A-pods, but we do not have ATM's yet, either.

I guess the Gargles is acceptable. Dire Wolf... *shakes head*...

Its a one shot Streak 4. Down grade to a SRM4 and a ton of ammo

IS players complained they didnt have a heavy with ECM and then they got one

Equality whinners complained about the lack of an IS Heavy w/ECM ("We gotta have it ONLY because THEY have one" nonsense). IS does not, and will NEVER, need a Hvy w/ECM. They already have a decent sized pool of mechs with ECM. Hell that new Griffon variant w/ECM is one ECM mech too many IMHO.

I was thinking add a half ton of Streak ammo, but that would work too, although would an SRM6 not be better than a 4 for conserving weight?
By my calculations, the transition from OS-SSRM4 to SRM4 would leave a half ton leftover.

Well its a medium a Lyran player would use with ECM.

I won't discount that. But it still doesn't change the fact that IS doesn't need another ECM mech, especially a Heavy at that.
