Right now Ewar is binary, and I believe it creates all sorts of problems.
My solution to my perceived imbalance follows.
Binary Ewar
Right now, Scouts detect everything and hide from everything.
RPS(rock paper scissors) Ewar
Light Frames can only detect themselves and Heavies (when number of ewar modules are the same on both sides*)
-Light frames can fit two precision enhancers to detect un-damped medium frames.
Medium Frames can only detect themselves and Light Frames
-Medium frames can fit two precision enhancers to detect un-damped Heavy frames
Heavy Frames can only detect themselves and Medium Frames
-Heavy Frames can fit two precision enhancers to detect un-damped Light Frames
Everyone has the same base precision and base signal. The system does a quick rps check- if the suit ties or looses, it maintains its ewar and is detected (if all skills are five and both suits are not running ewar modules). If it wins the rps check, that suit is dampened 50%.
Senser vrs Target
Light frame vrs light frame
Light frame = light frame => no bonus ( target detected)
Light Frame Vrs med frame
Light Frame < Med Frame => Med frame gains 50% dampening vrs that light frame (target not detected)
Light Frame vrs Heavy Frame
Light Frame > Heavy Frame => No bonus (target detected)
Med Frame Vrs x frame [condensed from here]
Med Frame > Light Frame => no bonus (target detected)
Med Frame = Med Frame => No bonus (target detected)
Med Frame < Heavy Frame => Heavy frame gains 50% dampening vrs that med frame (target not detected)
Heavy Frame Vrs x Frame
Heavy Frame < Light Frame => Light Frame gains 50% dampening vrs that Heavy frame (target not detected)
Heavy Frame > Med Frame => no bonus (target detected)
Heavy frame = Heavy Frame => No bonus (target detected)
TLDR:
Heavy Detects Mediums
Mediums Detect Lights
Light Detects Heavies
Light Evades Heavy scans
Medium Evades light Scans
Heavy Evades Medium scans
EDIT:
Also realized that this would make ewar modules useful on any suit, scouts still remain the kings of ewar, however, now they actually have to fit for their role if they wish to take advantage of it.

Ewar modules, Kaze, Ewar modules :) Now everyone can join the Ewar fight.
Heres my prediction:
Suddenly, Assaults in PC. Why? They detect scouts. Shotgun scout can't sneak up on assaults without fitting dampening => can't be mock assaults anymore (without getting stomped when they run up on an assault that is fully aware they are there)
Scout has to stay further away than 20 meters to sneak by a medium frame... which includes logistics. Logistics can fit up some crazy ewar combos now to hunt scouts (Like 4x range extender, 4 x precision enhancer). However, a heavy with just two damps can hide from the logi with its 4 precision enh. ewar, his job is slaying medium frames.
The scout's job is infiltration and slaying heavies with high alpha damage, fast in and out. The scout now must do something about that logi tailing the heavy, and it helps that he gets ewar bonuses to make his dampening better, fitting for full damp he can slip by under the logi's nose and nk them/remote explosive do what needs to be done. He won't be doing it with 800 hp. His direct engagement - direct the flow of battle days are over. Why?
Because mediums beat scouts. Scouts beat heavies, and heavies beat mediums.
