So what you're telling me is that your 'situational awareness' was the ability to have little red triangles pop up all over your screen and tell you exactly where your enemies are? I think you misunderstand what situational awareness is, my friend. You still have eyes, don't you? Thermal vision? The ability to detect movement? If you get so tunnel visioned by what's directly in front of you that you can't take a second to check your flank or have the ability to sense when you're about to get flanked, you do not possess situational awareness.
You possess the ability to read a map and see red triangles.
This thereby goes against the assumption that ECM, in and of itself, is OP does it not? I agree that Lights with ECM are overly powerful, but ONLY because they can be streakboated and streaks, in their current incarnation, require absolutely 0 skill to use at all. You acquire lock and right click your way to victory. What really needs to be changed is the flight model for Streaks.
And what skill do you possess if your equiping ECM and shooting freely at targets who have no idea where u are? Noobtech, FTW.
I also seem to remember the use of targeting and radar being a problem amongst the noobs.... so yes it is situational awareness skill to incorporate your use of targeting and radar in your decision making. Those who do, are better pilots. ECM is noobtech. Giving an advantage over players who are smart enough to watch their radar and map AS WELL AS THEIR EYES for enemy locations and movements.. It doesnt give them any advantage over noobs though as they are lost to begin with.
You are posting as a troll.
