In small simple words. Wrong. it is completely in line with TT rules. STREAK systems that were nto able to achieve a lock on targets through/in to an ECM cloud. Meaning in TT they would become normal SRMs. WIth the fact you cna't fire STREAKs in MWO with no lock. Your STREAKs are hurt more... but the thought pattern is still within TT rules.
Indirect fire... that is a bit more tricky, since there was not lock on for LRMs in TT, they were more like dumb fire missles that had a minor guidance system.
It may actualy be less effective in MWO then in TT. In TT if I had a mech at in range of your streaks and the target was in an ECM cloud it would be protected, even if your mech wasn't in teh ECM cloud. Now your mech has to be in the ECM cloud to be affected.
Personaly. ECM should be restricted to certain mech chassis that were designed to carry it. That means Jenners wouldn't be abel to carry it. Ravens would. It would make mechs specific for the role you want, Jenner is a raider, Raven is an electronic weapons platform.
