Well if you miss the point completely, of course all you'd see is stupid. You're still not getting it. If you can hypothetically say that the enemy team has a backup ECM, then so can I hypothetically say that so do I. It's a pretty ridiculous assumption to say that a single enemy contingency means that there exists no friendly contingency as well.
So hypothetically I could bring more ECM mechs and hypothetically you could bring more ECM mechs.
Kind of like how games are right now!? So, essentially everything would remain the same.

PPC can thus still have some use in countering ECM.
I can agree with that; even a 1% chance is of some use.

Ok, you're really getting dense on me here. I'm starting to wonder if you've had a brain aneurysm of some sort. I'm guessing the only way you can visualize that scenario is if I stood still and played Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots with the Atlas head on, and not utilized any sort of maneuverability. If I'm to the Atlas' side or back and deploying my weapons, how would that be a quick way to become a death? I'm starting to wonder how you play now, if your scenarios all involve playing chicken with the enemy.
Is that how you conduct a debate? Stomp your foot and call everyone that doesn't agree with you stupid?
Grow up! No, perhaps my day job comment was too much. Sorry.
Actually funny thing is I visualized you firing your PPC and SSRM into the Atlas back, just as you described. I just saw ultimately failure due to such low dps and moderate speed, at best, to carry any significant amount of PPC plus SSRM to put more than a dent on an Atlas.

Any extra damage you can deal onto an enemy, no matter what class, is a good thing. I've taken out Assault Mechs with nothing but 3 Small Lasers, for crying out loud. Streaks wouldn't be the primary damage dealer. That's why it's called the old one-two.
Cool story, bro. I've killed plenty of Assaults in my RVN-3L. Should we swap more war stories?
