Truth.



It's almost like we haven't seen this all before. *Boggle*. Before ECM Jenner-D's were THE light mech. That was why we said no to Jenners getting ECM. Not because we were thinking "Oh no, Jenners can stop LRMs now!" It was because Jenners with SSRMs flat out outclass every other light mech for firepower, speed, and maneuverability. ECM was the only way Ravens and Commandos (and Spiders) could compete with them.



Now it looks like we are going to go full circle with this. *sigh*



It's why I am mixed on this.On one side, anything to help kill ECM is great.On the other side, they used it as a band-aid and haven't fixed the core mechanics that required ECM to begin with (Streaks being a big example).My hope is, that part of them re-working missiles is that we see Streaks hit the body part that you are aiming at when you fire. They can still home in, but if you have the reticle over an arm when it fires, it hits the arm.Secondly, I hope they figure out that EW/IW and scouting are fubar and decide to rework them.The bad part is we are 7 or so patches until release. So that is not good.
