Yeah, PGI wanted to change ECM to just increase lock time, but it ended up not happening. They didn't follow through mostly because they wanted to rush the game out to Steam because they were taking absurdly long to get anything done with their re-balance efforts, so it's not an entirely lost cause because they probably did actually want to do that, but they didn't follow through and again have shown no visible interest in revisiting the issue.

Well I wouldn't want to rush them, and it's not like it's been broken for years.....

NARC doesn't negate ecm....

Ah Narc totally nullifies ecm if ur narc the ecm mech.

Its fun narcing their ecm mechs first, then telling the lrms to kill them first.
Bingo no enemy ecm at all.

yeah it is. if a narcd mech runs into a friendly mechs ecm it will be negated.

but if the ecm'd mech is narcd, the ecm will be negated.

its another one of those totally stupid interactions where ecm can both counter and be countered by the SAME THING depending on the situation.

god ecm is dumb.

PGI ECM invention is the worst thing that they invented.

ECM is good now. used to be 180 meter radius. That Lights hit you with no warning is just them doing what they need to do. Lights don't ask you to drop weapons and armor right?

Rephrasing what I said
If an enemy team has 3 ecm mechs and you narc them all in short order, you have effectively removed ecm from the enemy team.

I do this all the time a lot in my narc boat

Edit: replaced all the time with alot.
