You might have to shell out for a nice engine and it's not as sturdy as the heavies but it is fast. 203 IS mechs: 40 lights 60 mediums 52 heavies 51 assaults Four lights can equip ECM, one behind a paywall. Some important considerations: faster is generally better, ecm is a huge benefit on faster mechs, but whatever mech you bring, it should carry enough firepower to win in a brawl, as there is a lot of brawling. Counter = Narc (narced targets gets a "can always get locked on"for a short time) Mode 3 - counter Counters the nearest two targets with ECM inside 180 m. See full list on mwo. When stealth is activated the mechs ECM *cannot be countered by Active Probe or ECM-Counter mode*. Started by zortesh. Back to top #3 Mcgral18. Not too hot, so it can sustain it's rate of fire almost indefinitely. If I stick him an ECM mech I can have him run around and give people an ECM bubble and if it's built like a traditional ECM spider with ER Large he can still.

There are several medium Clan mechs that are able to mount ECM (or just some variants of those): Arctic Wolf, Ice Ferret, Shadow Cat, Black Lanner. The ECM/masc Phoenix hawk is probably the best medium in the game. Lrm 40 and under is just lol. is superfluous. Only issue is that the IS doesn't have many good ECM mechs that work mid to long range in the heavy or assault classes. MWO / FORUMS / MECHWARRIOR UNIVERSE / GENERAL DISCUSSION; 1. I think all the ECM mechs have their strengths/weakness. Then you pull back to cover, turn off stealth, let the heat and jam bar dissipate and you're good to go again. They often serve as Scout 'Mechs or Striker Roles. ECM: +75% stealth. Started by fastspec2, Jul 21 2015 05:19 PM. Final note, If you have no skill nodes for ECM unlocked and activated, then mechs can target lock an ECM mech up to and even beyond 600m away.
