Alt has just finished the skills to fly a scorp with T2 ECMs, and T2 shield/armour tank. Sadly weapons for it are all T1 atm.
When our corp uses BSs it is pretty much always RR armour BS gangs, and we come up against similar gangs.
Would an armour tanked scorpion with the mids filled with a MWD and the rest all ECM burst 2s be a viable way to break up our enemies' RR gangs? I would warp in seperately with the help of a covops and land close to our targets within RR range but out of burst range of our guys.
I am thinking bursts as opposed to targeted ECM to cause maximum disruption to the maximum amount of ships, breaking the locks for their RR.
I would of course expect to be primaried and lose a few of these ships, and would only fit it with cheap torp launchers etc as that way insurance will pretty much cover it, but I am thinking it should disrupt our targets RR enough to give us enough time to destroy a good few of their ships and come out on top.
Anyone use a burst scorp for this purpose? Do they work well?

Read module description, only 1 ECM burst allowed.
but regular ECM works well. |

Think it would only work if your RR gang was amarr utilising the longer range of scorch.
If you were in Megathron range, you would probably break your own gangs lock as well as the enemies.
Probably just as effecive to use the scorp with normal jammers and warp in at range, behind your gang after the fight has started. Or possibly fit all of your RR BS with ECM drones? |

nice thought.
you can only have one ecm burst per ship.
however, a bunch of ecm burst scorps with smartbombs would be utterly comedy gold to drop onto pretty much any gang. |

hmm ecm burst would only mess with your own gang seeing the range on them.
remote ecm burst would do the trick nicely but then you need a mommy for that |

Instead of torp launchers, fit smartbombs - you'll probably kill off most of their sentry drones as well
warp into rr blob -> hit ECM burst & smarties -> try and gtfo
your fit can be hilariously cheap and still be effective at this. If you plate up, you might even last long enough for a second burst. |

They should lift this limit, at least for BSes, at make the amount usable depend on the ewar skill: 1 active at a time with lvl 1-2, 2 active with lvl 3-4 and 3 active at lvl 5. |
