Lets say I am in a raven and we have LRMs on our team. Their team is huddled around 3 ECM D-DC Atlas.

Do their 3 Disrupt ECMs stack so that my 1 Counter ECM dose nothing to make them visible to my team? Or am I witnessing a bug of some kind.

If you read the description of counter mode you will find that it only counters a single enemy ECM.

Surely you cant have two ECM's and have one on disrupt and the other counter?

Hmmm then I think that this would be a great way to balance ECM if they removed the ability to stack ECM like that and 1 counter could counter multiple ECM.

What do you think people do for organized play? LOL!

At least half the team should be carrying ECM to disrupt enemy targeting at all times. But as you know some of the best fighting mechs do not carry ECM so that's why you might not just go with an all ECM team.

Then again you can be a jerk and just bring 8 Atlas DDCs.
