If they could be dumbfired why would you ever take normal SRMs? Also you can counter them with the same weight as ECM, which is fair. BAP.
Shorter cooldown
Lower tonnage
Less space
and if you opt for Artemis you get a tighter pattern than dumbfired Streaks
I would have to check but there may also be a heat cost difference.
BAP is a fairly anemic response to ECM. Sure, you can now lock in close range but the time to do so is so damn long that it is nearly useless. It also is helpless against stealth. At the close ranges of an SRM fight holding for a lock on an ECM light is near impossible.
