In my mind, ECM is a godawful kneejerk reaction to LRM's and SSRM'S being supidly overpowered.

In early beta there was a massive shitstorm of moaning over LRM's being weak and SSRM'S missing fast moving targets and in the end PGI gave into them and we ended up with LRM and streakcat online. The fix to that was ofc ECM online.

Two op systems do not equal out, they just make a mess :S

I personally believe the damage on LRM'S should be scaled back to nearer tabletop values and the accuracy of lrm's in indirect fire should be nerfed considerably. This would allow lrm's to still be used but stop them just destroying everything in their path.

SSRM'S shoudl have their accuracy against fast moving targets reduced meaning that 1/2 the missiles miss against a fast moving target with a good transversal.

With these two changes we wouldnt need to have OP ECM to fix all the woes of the game.

I mean, LRM'S were buffed when very few mechs existed and the catapult was the main LRM boat we now have stalkers and soon to have a huge open desert map......
