so i was breaking a take from my commando 2-D when i decided to buy a streak cat because i was doing so well with commando with 3 streaks i thought 6 would be even better.

WRONG.

i litterally went 4 games in a row where i couldnt even attack with my cat because i was jammed by ecm the whole fight.

i dont think ecm should be nerfed cause thats not fair to people that spend real life money on a mech because it can take ecm( for example i got 3 commandos and 3 atlas just so i could get veteran on my ecm variants.)

i think the better idea is to let ALL mechs take ECM, nothing is overpowered if everyone can take it.

ecm will still take 3 tons+ cbill cost. not to mention a hardpoint AND ecm can be destroyed if the part of your mech that mounts it is destroyed.

a catapult with 6 streaks and ECM would be so ******, i would prolly even go so far as to put an XL engine on it just to circle strafe assaults.

You realize if everyone had ECM your streak cat would be utterly useless yeah?

Not sure if this was meant as a serious post or not right now - going from pure ECM mechs to a streak cat seems like the most illogical next step, so it makes it hard to determine.

The Story of ColonelMetus: In a world where a lot of really angry MWO forums people shout out at the over powered-ness of ECM, 1 man dares to make a stand and claim that ECM has not gone far enough.

[Pachar]

I agree with this, only because I'm sick of ECM and I agree that nothing is OP if everyone has access to it. Until it gets balanced ECM should just be available to everyone.

Except that everyone has to have it or they're under-powered. ECM is broken, end of story here.

[sycocys]

I rarely use ECM and barely feel underpowered even in slightly modified mechs.

[CancR]

Every one should get ECM because TT cannon.

[ColonelMetus]

i put ecm on a spider with a large lazer and a flamer and i does not get streaks even once!

every mech should have, catapult with streaks and ecm can jam other ecm then fire streaks!

How's this?

[ColonelMetus]

in my opinion ECM is what Xpert Mechwarriors (like me) use, and complaints are what people that cant afford the 400k to buy ecm use(prolly cowards too)

nope, just an Xpert

Ya know, as much as I hate ECM I would love to see this implemented. One of the arguments used by the divs is that ECM use isn't completely out of wack on the average match. Maybe if 75-100% of players used ECM because they could put it on their favourite mech they would see just how big a deal it is. I know they're 'looking into it' but that's a reluctant response to player pressure, not an 'OMG what were we smoking?' reaction that I feel it deserves.

</p>But ******* over people who spent real money on a game that was supposed to have an Information Warfare pillar is just fine, eh?

...yeah... maybe think before post...

every mech with ECM would cause streaks to nearly never work, because all lights would gather around your streak-cat to prevent you to kill them, while you cant shoot your team misses out on damage until you are gone. Than the enemy team should have more ECMs than your, because you are dead, this lead to nearly nobody of your team can shoot rockets with lock aimed.

ECM-fight for the win...

Its atm sometimes the case, you got a battle from 3xRaven vs 2Raven+1Spider, all ecm. The group loosing first a ECM get killed completly because the other can now use there streaks...


streaks need a overdo, and ECM to.
