Well, you can go in T3 with Black Swarm and get one fear me medal after another, can’t you?
I said that you need to concentrate a lot of fire to kill one of them. In pubs if they know what they are doing, and of course in a serious game.
So again, how do you kill a good ECM player before he is in range? With multiple players or alone?
edit: I just need to look at the TDM tournament where elMustacho was using Black Swarm, they were doing focus fire on him and there was no freaking way to kill him.
But yeah, kill him before he gets in range 
“kill them before they get in range” really is a weak, hollow answer and focus fire is actually not usually the best way to counter my play. You might think it sounds like you are actually saying something useful but you aren’t. So I will, but since I’m not Russian, I’m sure it won’t be as impactful as I’m just a crazy American who doesn’t care about my rating.
The range of modules on a synergized Black Swarm are 4600m and my gun is about 4000m. (surprising how just shooting at someone at max range can make them duck or stop attacking a teammate) There isn’t much anyone can do to outrange me. That’s why I don’t rely on adaptive shielding. I only get in close to draw fire off of players, if I have to chase down someone running away, and people just can’t aim well within 1500m. (I have to be within 2000m to use rockets anyways.) I use strafe and roll a lot in conjunction with each other, or roll and elevation. Strafe limits your afterburner, so if I need a quick burst of speed I just take my finger off that. It causes a lot of variation in speed and I fly at strange angles and it’s awesome. Essentially, I am hedging that while someone can hit me some of the time, they will generally not be able to hit me enough of the time to take me out. Often I want the focus fire, E9 implant, and because it allows teammates to get in position. If anything, most pilots can’t juggle multiple targets very well and the pressure will cause them to break, miss someone flying in to kill them, or at the very least float out of position. Kind of a win win situation. (if you haven’t figured it out yet I am an opportunist. I rarely relentlessly pursue any single target once they are driven off the objective)
My ship is slow at a top speed of 446. Again, I survive because of my ability to maneuver and the of my timing of my abilities. Oh…and my situational awareness is much better than most players. I really enjoy using stasis on interceptors not paying attention and watching them crash into asteroids and beacons, btw.
The style I started with, many months ago, took a bit of MaximumSky’s recon play from the ESB vs NASA match about a year ago, radyogh’s general relentlessness, voyd’s use of positioning, EvilArdi’s evasive maneuvering and ArquieroX’s and MIlfuelle’s angles of attack (Milf has this cool swoop / drift move that I figured out, Arquiero was more speed reliant but when he focuses he does great stuff ). I just built upon those basic ideas and added to it ever since. I’m not going to lie, it is great that people can watch videos of me flying and not understand why it is that I am surviving. It says to me that even when you have the keys to success handed to you like right now, most won’t be able to do anything with them.
I am a much better ECM pilot than about 95% of the playerbase. Yes, it is a huge advantage that I know how to play the ship class AND fly an interceptor better than just about everyone else, but that doesn’t mean ECM or the Black Swarm are broken and it doesn’t need to be reworked. You can definitely solo a Black Swarm (it happens to me all the time and I’d argue that one or two players is the optimal way to want to engage an ECM ) and if you suck at flying, a Black Swarm won’t get you fear me medals because you will done fall out and get dead.
also survivability is a fake stat, you should not use it).
