I was an absolute ECM fan...but recently I've turned AMS.

My 4 AMS Corsair managed to shoot down 1,447 missiles.

Means points and cash.

Unlike an ECM that has no reward

In my PHX-KK I shot down 637 missiles on polar.

I even bought a locust to run around the back doing LRM protection...the one with double ams, meaning 4400 rounds, but can have 5 SML. 5sml can do 16.25 damage. (Just thinking of it like an AC/20 doing less damage and making you stay on targe longer so your 6-point-rear-armour is more target friendly.)

Yes...ams is my new toy.

I have been told that ams shoot-downs make no ponts or money in themselves...expect, yes, if your team is alive last.

ECM's advantage is that it helps reduce enemy reaction times against you because they won't get an audio or visual cue when you expose yourself (no glowy red dorito).

AMS's utility is entirely dependent on how many missiles the red team is bringing, and as such it can sometimes be dead weight.

Missiles destroyed only nets Matchscore, no CBills.
