4 days ago i met a gang consisting of 3 Megathron and 5 falcons.. I asked them why they used so much ecm and they said: Why not, we can attack 10 bs this way and kill them easily as we smartbomb the drones..Smart setup indeed but damn boring for the enemy..
That is ofc an extreme example but Falcon has become the new WCS..A correctly fitted Falcon makes 4-5 BS struggle to hold 2 ships scrambled..
I also believe that Falcon is a reason to the insane blobbing in Eve these days..(they probably have a falcon or 2 guys, lets bring another 5 bs)

It could be a good move by CCP to make ECM ships less useful..It would boost the solo pvp part of Eve that still someone enjoys and also make tactics a valid part of the game again..(other than using the falcon as the tactic)
Here is another example..yesterday we fought a good sized gang that was relying on ECM..
We had 11 ships, they had 22.. Out of the 22 they had 5 blackbirds,3 falcons and ecm drones on the pvp ships..
Due to heavy use of eccm,drones and terrible target calling by them we managed to win the fight..
ECM is a part of Eve, but it should control pvp like it does atm..Or CCP could just add another mid slot to all ships so we can fit ECCM without gimping the setup by removing web or scram..

Quote: The more irritating aspect though is that you just can't tackle a Falcon with less than about four ships, and you certainly won't be able to counter it through anything but battleship-level sniper***gotry past the speed nerf. It just locks down any tackler and slips away. It gets away a lot easier than any other Recon ship, and this is why all the damn cowards out there probably gravitate toward it.
You fail at eve. It takes 1 ship to tackle a falcon, and once tackled the falcon is screwed, there is nothing a falcon can do to escape, using the methods i'm talking about. The ships that can do this will still be able to after the nano changes. I can think of atleast 4 different ship classes which can be setup for anti-falcon work, and 3 different tactics to utilize if one of the tactics get nerfed (0 anticipation any of these tactics are going to be nerfed)
Mmmm..You fail..Ever heard of a Falcon pilot with 1600 plate? That buys you time to get a jam on the ships that tackle..
