ECM can save you from Flash Raptors in ACAH. It will only jam missiles when they reach the jammed area, but in defensive DFM, it can be useful to buy some time to get into countering position. It also reloads a lot faster than flares, so it's a real life saver when your flares run out or still in the middle of reloading. You can also fly a jammer near your own HQ, valuable aces, or bombers to protect them from enemy missiles. In my experience, ECM will jam all hostile missiles and lock on. Damages to HQ may be delayed if the attackers are relying on just guided weapons.
