China's ECM and ECA's chaff allow deflection of missile/rocketbarrages and russia's ARENA systems has a high firerate to shut down most of a barrage, although it can harm your infantry and has to reload. PDLs on the other hand, apart from the PDL drone and the guardian angels super PDL don't seem to offer near as much protection against missiles and rockets. Is there any advantage to the PDL that I'm missing?

Actually i've been using avengers all the time...(well until i found out they don't work in the current version), but still they felt underwhelming. a single avenger can reliably protect you against 2 missiles at a time i. e. one upgraded russian rpg, 2 missile/tunnel defenders or half a salvo of most missile based aircraft. whereas a single ecm tank or chaff equipped vehicle protects against whole barrages, except if you are in the middle of a huge blob.
Granted, I have only little experience with arena systems, but I think the take done more than one missile at a time. Correct me if I'm wrong

Correct me if I'm wrong The main downside with ECM is that it doesn't actually stop the missile or work against unguided ones. So while you do prevent the missiles from hitting their target, you don't stop them from hitting something else. And it won't stop something like a Grad at all. I used to send 4 raptors to target the ECM tank in a blob when I played, just to spread the missiles around since I couldn't snipe. You'd be surprised at how much damage and kills they still get. I've seen people do the same with rocket buggies. Only way to make sure it doesn't work against you is to have the ECM tank isolated. Which leads to many other problems. -------------------- Composite Armor has been installed, sir.
