Yes, that is important. This game desperately needs a tutorial to help out new players.
ECM is an Electronic Countermeasure. It can only be equipped on 4 mechs at the moment and what it does is it emits a field, 180m radius, around the carrier. Any mech inside an ECM field cannot be targeted unless you are within 180m of your target or a friendly mech with ECM set to disrupt is within range of their ECM carrier. This is why you want a TAG if you're running LRMs because ECM does not disrupt a TAG.
