Hello,

	As it has been mentioned several times already the ECM-ECCM
thing is
usually based on the respective tech levels of the 2 countries involved.
Country A with tech level 5 will have and EW advantage over country B
with
a tech level of 1.  A guy wearing camouflage with a pair of binoculars
has
a definite advantage over Joe Shmoe in his pants and sunglasses.  For
game
purposes just say that ship A has class X sensors(X being the
effectiveness) and class X ECM.  This would add/subtract the ability to
find your enemy.  Cloaking would just be a very high ECM value.
	There are a bazillion ways to play with this. Active jamming, 
decoys,
chaff, active sensors, etc.......
