Cause none of those have ECM.

What makes you think the D-DC should have ECM? Using lore justification, of course...

If anything, the K or S variants should get the ECM now, considering somewhere down the line, their successors had ECM in lore.

Maybe the guy that coded the ECM into the D-DC left and nobody can figure it out now???

• AS7-K2 A post-Jihad Lyran Commonwealth take on the Combine's AS7-K introduced in 3082, the K2 model of the Atlas also used a Vlar XL Engine but increased its rating to 400, giving the K2 model a top speed of 64.8 km/h. Retaining only the Gauss Rifle and ER Large Lasers of the AS7-K, the K2 carried two Guided Technologies 2nd Gen Streak SRM-6 launchers. The K2 was protected with sixteen and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor and, to protect against advanced enemy electronics, a Guardian ECM Suite. BV (1.0) = 1,751^[21], BV (2.0) = 2,160^[22]

• AS7-S2 The S2 Atlas was a major upgrade of the design by the Lyran Alliance coming out of the Hesperus II facility in 3061. The 'Mech was built with a Light Fusion Engine and carried an Artemis IV Fire Control System enhanced LRM-15 launcher and two ER large lasers as its primary long range weapons. For close combat, the 'Mech was armed with a Heavy Gauss Rifle. The S2 mounted a Guardian ECM Suite in place of the AMS to protect against enemy electronic warfare equipment. BV (1.0) = 2,147^[29] (2,075)^[30], BV (2.0) = 2,389

Mine still rocks. No issues here.

I wasn't specifically referring to those two variants (though, I'd love to see them also). My point was that the K or S should have the ECM over the D-DC. The K should really have it, dual AMS be damned. Take away ECM from the D-DC and the K is still the weakest Atlas.
