A van has a body of 4. I think that means it can contribute 2 points of
flux. If you include a signal amp 10, that can provide 10 points of flux.
An ECM of rating 4 has a flux of 6. That means up to 18 dice for a
jamming attempt! A rating 6 sensor has a flux of 9 that's only 9 dice to
counter it! The target numbers are different, 4 vrs 6, which will make a
big impact on the outcome of the test. However, you shouldn't assume that
it's an ECM 4 is useless. In fact, if you pump all your juice into ECM,
it's not likely that a missile will be able to maintain a lock ...
