So I'm looking to play a scout and I'm mindful of the various detection/tracking mechanisms available but also that ECMs are going to be available (per Dev Blog 2). What I'm worried about is that, as a dedicated scout, it may be possible for my opponents to pile enough ECM on to fly blind under my sensors even if I'm using the most advanced in-game setup.
So I have two questions: In the BT universe, what ECCMs are available which might be included in MWO? Secondly. has anyone seen any evidence (non-NDA'd, obviously) of Bloodhound Active Probes or similar 'highly advanced' sensors which might nullify ECM's effectiveness?
Also, from a less objective standpoint, does anyone think it should be possible to operate beneath sensors, if you're appropriately kitted out to do so? If so, what role do you think the scout should play?
(ECCM = Electronic Counter-Counter-Measure)
(Bloodhound Active Probe = Sensor capable of detecting even stealthed mechs, with far more effectiveness than a typical Beagle Active Probe, outlined in Maximum Tech)
