ECM Tank should be able to shut down its missiles spreading ability

[ReLaX82]

Originally from Dominator:

ECMs could have a feature that allows them to disable their missile spreading ability. This would allow a china player to have a chance against EMP defences when they have ECM/overlord combo.

Also it would stop A10 from killing whole nuke army and allowing USA to win the game after nuke already struggled to get to a good position.

Probably would be some cons to it though.

Already fixed with

This is a different suggestion @xezon

[ZekeDlyoung]

This isn't really possible though, not unless you make the ECM field into a manual ability like Toxin Tractor's contaminate

[ReLaX82]

Ah, okay.

[xezon]

Oh, I misunderstood.

Neither with a similar mechanic like how rangers can switch weapons?

Hmm, I guess that is possible, but then you'll have no choice but to make all ECM tanks auto-acquire targets so that they can properly engage missiles in jammer mode 🤔

[ReLaX82]

ECM already auto-disable when in ritaliation Mode right?

In 1.04, it depends on your faction. In patch, you can guard mode.

Another thing to note about this change is that the AI won't know to switch to anti-missile mode without editing the scripts, if it is even possible

[xezon]

My understanding is that the default weapon would have to be the regular behaviour, and the extra weapon would have to be no behaviour. Then AI would have no issues.

[ReLaX82]

Yes, makes sense as dragons with AI dont ever use flame wall.

[ReLaX82]

Is that technically possible or not?

[commy2]

I don't think it is possible without engine modifications.

Moved to back log. Closed.
