EWAR is much more than just scanning. Also, you left out active scanners. Also, mediums would been good at EWAR, nor would they (because they're too slow and is easily detectable), nor were they meant to be.
It was my intention to leave them out as it is a factor that I would not change. Also, my proposal doesn't make mediums "good" at EWAR, it simply allows them to engage in EWAR in a substantive way against scouts who choose ample HP over radar stealth or exceptional radar detection. Had you examined my graphic you would see that even a medium with four dampeners or enhancers--an absurd and totally impractical amount of modules--is still worse at EWAR than:
1. A Gallante scout with four complex dampeners.
2. A Caldari scout with four complex precision enhancers.
3. An Amarr scout with four complex dampeners.
4. A Gallante scout with three complex dampeners.
5. A Caldari scout with three complex precision enhancers.
6. An Amarr scout with three complex dampeners.
7. A Minmatar scout with three complex dampeners.
8. A Minmatar scout with three complex precision enhancers.
I repeat, all eight of those possibilities would defeat a logi with either 4 complex dampeners (the Amarr logi isn't even capable of that) or 4 complex enhancers (only the Caldari and Minmatar logis have this capability) and the sacrifice to do so would be so crippling that it would almost never be worth it.
What my proposal does change, however, is that it allows mediums to no longer get radar ganked by scouts who barely dampen their suit. As a logi with level 5 skills in precision enhancement and suits equiped with three complex precision enhancers, I shouldn't be getting snuck up on by scouts with only 1 complex dampener or less. Even I, a lowly medium frame, should have the option to enjoy radar supremacy over scouts who think they can have their cake and EWAR too (HP and stealth). Under my system, both scouts and mediums get to play the EWAR game, but everyone has to sacrifice something to do it. However, it is still overwhelming slanted in favor of scouts and scouts have to give up far less than mediums do to establish radar superiority.
For instance, under my proposal, my own setup would be defeated in EWAR by:
1. A Gallante scout with four complex dampeners.
2. An Amarr scout with four complex dampeners.
3. A Gallante scout with three complex dampeners.
4. An Amarr scout with three complex dampeners.
5. A Minmatar scout with three complex dampeners.
6. A medium frame with four complex dampeners.
7. A Gallante scout with two complex dampeners.
8. A Caldari scout with two complex dampeners.
9. An Amarr scout with two complex dampeners.
10. A Minmatar scout with two complex dampeners.
11. A medium frame with three complex dampeners.
Does it sound like I would be "good" at EWAR to you?
