If radar extends out to 800m. Then, why can I not target the ECM carrier from any range, until I am right next to him, within 200m?
I am unable to target the ECM carrier until I am within 200m of him, so something is going on to my sensors until that point. As I get closer the map flickers. That's called intensity.
Agreed. However the rules should be consistant within the fictional universe.
Because your sensors are rolling over the ECM shield, similar to radar trying to detect a stealth jet.
Picture 3 mechs in an open field, each spaced 300 meters apart in a line. One end is your mech, the middle is the enemy ECM carrier, and other end is an enemy mech. Your sensors would be able to detect the enemy mech at the other end, because he is not in the ECM bubble. Your sensors just cannot detect what is in the bubble until he gets in the sweet spot just above 180m.
Your sensors are not being affected, he is cloaking himself from them. Once he closes the gap, then they are being affected.

I don't know if you were in CB when LRM damage was 2.0 (compared to the current 1.7) but that's not really an option.
Also, I edited my last post for one of your posts, so maybe take a look at it again.
I was there. It was LRM warrior online lol.
1.8 always sounded better to me. The speed increase would be better than any damage tweak though.
