ECM is a bit overpowered. no electronic counter measure is 100% effective, only partially with alot of factors to vary its effectiveness. ECM shoudl still allow locks from lrm/streak machines but it should take longer and shoudl be more unstable, but still possible none the less. modules that assist with sensors and retention should then have a minor effect to improve the above counter measures.
just thinking real

It's not 100% effective. You can see them, shoot them, tag them, missile them. Just takes some thinking and work.

Effort??? NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo! IT'S TOO HARD MUST BE NERFED NAOW *sarcasm*

I've seen this post 100 times, they've all been moved to ecm feedack thread, or suggestions.

As for the OPness, thats why we have somthing called Gaurdian ECM, (don't forget BAP), and strategy.

BAP does not allow targeting an ECM unless you jam his ecm. holding the reticle over the ECM target without jamming does not result in a lock. iv tested it with friends on the other team, static, i have bap and streaks and hold over with reticle does not result in a lock or even the yellow / red ring to start its circle. My guess is this does need to be modified as a bap should help get a lock..or at elast make it possible with effort. i guess we shall see what the devs do.

LRMs were impacted too much. The lock distance reduction is too steep.

But I refuse to support anything that will bring streak cats back into the mainstream however.

The 180m "no lock" needs to stay or SSRMs need to get nerfed before it goes away.

BAP is currently completely disabled by ECM for the carrier and all inside the bubble.

ECM is the swiss army shotgun of electronic warfare in that it disables

BAP, Streak, Artemis, quarters radar range, scrambles UI...

It's like tag games kids would play in gradeschool where one would say he was invisible then refuse to be caught by the other players. ECM is like the fat kid saying 'no I am invisible, you can`t see me!!1!'.

And with no drawbacks of course.
