Example: How much does an Amarrian that doesnt use EWAR ships have to sacrifice to counter a FOTM Falcon or scorp? Most of your low slots would have to be with the eccm's. That = death if you are Amarr
Mecinia Lua Galactic Express Burning Horizons	Posted - 2009.01.17 07:59:00 - [6] Amarr ships should use the mid slot ECCM. Sadly it would take 3-4 to pump you up enough on some ships. If you can use projected ECCM and have a buddy each could fit 2 Projected ECCM and boost their buddy. You need a sensor strength of 60 to beat a single falcon that is rigged and fitted with racial ecm. Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. Your signature is too large. Please resize it to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] - Mitnal

Give the ships that was made specificaly for this a MWD in their stats. Free module ship!
Arno Villanova Amarr Blood Money Inc.	Posted - 2009.01.17 08:10:00 - [9] Edited by: Arno Villanova on 17/01/2009 08:12:41 Had my curse fit with two ECCM's becouse I knew there would be a falcon in the next fight... Think my sensor strength was 80 or 90. I think he missed a cycle in the time it took for a Deimos and Vaga to chew through my 17K armor points. Not an exageration, ****ed me off that the Deimos lived. ECCM and ECM does not need to be removed. Just modified like nano was. Damn forum posters getting things nerfed.... Oh wait now Im doing it.

Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2009.01.17 08:28:00 - [13] I'm not saying that the medslotting of amarr ships is "fine", completely out of whack in some cases, but we live, as always, Amarr have been adapting for a couple of years now My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

You need a sensor strength of 60 to beat a single falcon that is rigged and fitted with racial ecm. how are we defining beat? it still has a chance to jam you regardless of your sensor strength. The higher your sensor strength the less the chance, but as you point out it is not foil proof. (Also attested by the other poster). ECM used to be a lot more powerful than it is today. They had a ECM revamp seems like 2-3 years ago. That's the problem though folks go in nerfing cycle. Nerf this, then nerf that, then nerf c and so on then they restart the cycle because nerfing is never really the answer. ECCM probably needs a slight boost to make it more effective rather than nerfing ECM. The way it is currently also the ECCM needs to be running before they hit you with the ECM, once the ECM hits raising your sensor strength doesn't seem to help as much.

Typhado3 Minmatar Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium Axiom Empire	Posted - 2009.01.17 09:18:00 - [19] of course ewar aren't balanced same as dps isn't balanced range isn't balanced and speed isn't balance some races are better at some things than others. I will say the following about ewar though; forget which race has which e-war and tell me which of these sounds more like the minmatar style of fighting: Using your speed and e-war to out track the enemy and fly under their guns. Using your speed and e-war to kite the enemy messing with their targeting range or the gun range. Using your speed and e-war to slow down the enemies sensor hit them hard then get out before they lock you. Using your speed and e-war to chase down ships smaller than you and beat the crap out of them. ccp fix mining agent missions % pls
Malcanis R.E.C.O.N.	Posted - 2009.01.17 09:21:00 - [20] Originally by: LongHong Dong Edited by: LongHong Dong on 17/01/2009 07:47:36 I do not believe it is. Example: How much does an Amarrian that doesnt use EWAR ships have to sacrifice to counter a FOTM Falcon or scorp? EW isn't balanced across races. Considering your specific example, you might want to consider that the Curse has an utterly different role to the Falcon, isn't really supposed to be a Falcon counter and that it would take a very creative argument indeed to propose that Curse pilots are in any way underpowered or justified. I say this as someone who flies both Curses and Falcons. Falcons can do something that a Curse can't do very well: long range EW. A Curse can do several things that Falcons can't even consider. Note that if you wanted to, you could fit a Curse or Pilgrim with a rack of TDs, use EW range rigs and be a reasonably effective EW platform vs turret ships at 100Km+ ranges - while at the same time still fitting a rack of capwar mods and a drone bay as good as that of the racial drone specialist tier-3 battlecruiser. No, Amarr recons are in no way underpowered, lacking in versatility, or gimped. If anything, they're far more OP that the ECM ships everyone whines about. The only real difference is that a Curse has to be actively piloted, whereas Falcons can, so I am told, be run on an alt. If you want a ship to counter a Falcon, then consider: Apoc Rokh Cerb Arazu Purifier (or any stealthbomber) Ishtar and as a last resort, speed-fit ships eg: Vagabond.

Example: How much does an Amarrian that doesnt use EWAR ships have to sacrifice to counter a FOTM Falcon or scorp? I agree. Amarr EWAR is wayyy overpowered. Any blasterboat pilot should have this opinion about tracking disruptors. At least you have some chance to resist ECM.

Any blasterboat pilot should have this opinion about tracking disruptors. At least you have some chance to resist ECM. I was being facetious. And while everyone has a chance to not be jammed in theory, it doesn't happen in practice. Example: my Abaddon is scrammed by 5x BS, I'm in half structure. I warp my Falcon in, jam all five on the first attempt from 220km and warp my Abaddon out. Am I happy I got my BS out? Yes. Is ECM horribly overpowered? (yes, I read your thread) Yes.

Malcanis R.E.C.O.N.	Posted - 2009.01.17 09:49:00 - [24] "I warp my Falcon in, jam all five on the first attempt" If this happened to you, you are very, very lucky indeed. Even assuming that you had exactly the correct 5 racials fitted, and didn't make any mistakes in assigning jams, you'd still have a very small chance of succeeding with all 5 jams. In that situation I'd be pleased with getting 3. However, any ship at all can stand off at 60Km, hit you with 2 TDs and completely ruin your DPS with no chance to resist.
