I'm not that versed on ECM, and was wondering if Signal Dispersion was worth training above III. I was thinking, if it was just another 5% bonus on top of a small number, it might barley be noticeable.

Recon V vs Recon V in Falcons: One of us has Signal Dispersion V the other has III.

Which would you rather be?

Depends how often you use ECM, though to level 4 doesn't take long anyway and most skills involve small % bonus on top of other small numbers. 5 is a tougher sell unless you want to specialize as an ECM pilot.

And the Falcon Vs Falcon scenario sounds like the longest most tedious 1v1 ever.

Quite often it's not 1v1, but 6v6 or 20v15 or whatever, Falcon v Falcon is on the field. He will be your primary, and you will be his.
Not argueing your point. Just making a different one.

You're debating whether an IV is worth it? IV is always worth it. It's whether V is worth it. And the answer is; if you fly ECM a ton, and/or have nothing that you want to train more.

If you're going to do something, you should do it well. Here's a few basic jam percentages on various hulls for a Recon 5 Falcon, factoring 1 racial jammer, to give you an idea of what you can expect...

I don't think 100% chance to jam makes sense.
