a few suggestions were talked about in this other thread but i will start with the main one. that is an enhancement to BAP. the idea is to enhance the BAP so that it cancels ECM better. that is that it completely negates all ECM not just a single mech. now this might make it overpowered even if its in a limited range (say 350m) so i would propose that it only effects the mech that carries it. as it currently stands if a mech as ECM and is in the range of another mech's ECM things like TAG and NARC are useless as they only counter one source. if programing the game so it only has effects for the one mech carrying the BAP is to intensive then have it only effect a mech you have a lock on that is within your sensor range.
when it comes to support equipment you rarely if ever see any builds suggested that use BAP or TCs. ECM is always a must on mechs that carry it. hell AMS is also rarely taken unless its something like the Corsair-7A that can take 4 but this is outside the scope of the conversation i hope to have.
so Long story short what can we do it improve the EW aspect of the game? also what can be done to perhaps lessen the effects of the over abundance of ECM on the field without nerfing ECM itself?
(Side note--lets try to keep the hatred for LRM and other lock-on weapons out of the conversation)
