Simple version: ECM reduces enemy range bands, as Noam has suggested to New 
Israeli stealth. ECCM would counter that. Let's say a NAC vessel (EW rating 
4) and allied PAU (EW rating 1) are fighting an IF Amirate ship (EW rating 
2).

NAC vs IF: 4 > 2, so normal
PAU vs IF: 1 < 2, so PAU uses 5" range bands instead of 6" RBs
IF vs NAC: 2 < 4, IF fires using 4" RBs
IF vs PAU: 2 > 1, so normal

An alternative is to let a EW bonus give you larger range bands--so NAC 
would fire at IF with 8" range bands, meaning a Beam 2 could hit out to 
32"--but that is quite a disadvantage for lower-tech ships.
