Nothing else breaks tackle except the thing that breaks tackle? Ok. Nothing else in the game disrupts your tracking except tracking disruptors. What’s this ‘something else’ you’re talking about the ECM doing? It breaks locks. That’s all it does right now. That has other, indirect effects, but those are _indirect_ effects. Just like ‘I get blown up easier when target painted’ is an indirect effect. It does one thing: break target locks. That’s all it does.
