Topic: ECM vs ECCM

Does anyone know how the chance to jam is calculated? I have searched and found nothing except anecdotal observations, which tend to fall into 2 camps:

1. OFMG, ECCMs are SOO useless, it does not even matter if you have one quipped, because they will just go straight through it if they have any ewar strength ext's at ALL.

2. OFMG, ECMs are SOO useless, An ECCM raises sensor strength by 30-45%, there is no point in even equipping them against someone who will have even ONE equipped.


Now, from personally experience, I know both of these are wrong.  ECCM's help, but only somewhat.  When I have one equipped on my arbalest I can still get ECM'd quite often, but not nearly as much as if I do not have it equipped (in which case it's nearly auto success).

Does anyone actually know how the actual chance is determined?

The game guide page was not much use on this, at least knot he one I could find...

Re: ECM vs ECCM

It is mentioned on the game guide pages:

Sensor strength/EW strength is how it works.

Thank you, I had not noticed that particular page.

Re: ECM vs ECCM

It's a chance based item. 100 sensor strength against a 40 strength ECM is a 40% chance to jam. Or there abouts anyway.
