Here is the main problem and it has to do with the way ECM works
If my ECM strength is 100 and your sensor strength is 100 I have a 100% chance to jam you ... the exact maths is like 99.999999 something % but fact is when tested I will jam 10/10 times.
If i put in a ECCM to increase my sensor strength up to 400 (example) the ECM @ 100 Strength still has a 25% chance to jam. Considering most EW pilots run 2 to 3 ECM's .... focused on 1 target still gives you around a 75% chance to jam every 10 seconds, run 4 ecm's nd your chance is nearly 100% still
ECCM is an extremely weak & non effective counter to ECM ... add in ECM tuner and ECCM becomes almost pointless.
I am fully speced into EW with maxxed skills. I dont want to get "nerfed" but what i do want is balance.
A good balance would be for sensor amps to (@t4 + lvl ten skill) nullify the effect of sensor suppression completely
A good balance would be for a ECCM break opponent locks and make one immune to being Jammed for a short period of time 10sec (same as 1 cycle of a ECM) @ t4 with a 30 second cool down. <<< This is similar to the way that it use to be ... before Ewar tuners were in game.
Yes when taking into consideration "FLEET" composition you can compensate for this with more EW vs EW. Balance is not bringing more ECM's to ECM the ECMers. Balance is employing a viable counter (Electronic counter counter measure) that is as effective as its pair.
TL;DR
Sensor amp and Sensor suppressor should cancel each other out completely
ECM and ECCM should cancel each other out completely
