The mechanics of jamming | The [[Electronic_warfare#Electronic_Countermeasures_.28ECM.29|basics of ecm jamming]] are fairly simple, although the [[Electronic_Countermeasures|mechanics of how it works]] are more complex. When you successfully jam an enemy ship, it cannot target lock on your fleetmates for a period of time. The drawback is that it can still attack ''you'', but it is easy to see why jamming is useful in many fleet actions. | ||
