Yep. Radar is important. I'm not completely sure on the math of how radar works, but I know the scan profile of a scout is smaller than an assault, logi, or heavy's precision are initially. This means, that unless the suit is right beside you or you are looking at them, you wont see them on the map.
Also the scan distance of a scout is 25m while others are 15m. This means that if they are not in your direct field of vision then you can bet they use that 10+ meters to find the best way to shoot you.
You can however talk to your friends who may not be immediately nearby and have them lookout for you. If they do see a red visually that wouldn't normally show up for you, then it will appear on the map. Additionally you could run with a sensor boosted scout which would help with detection. Also knowing what blues are looking like they are doing on the minimap is important.
Blueberries that are facing the same direction and strafing are shooting most likely. Paying attention to the direction people are going is key as well. This lets you know if they see you or not, as it is possible for someone to show up on your map but them not see you. |

Also, in eve there is this idea of 'black ops' warfare and signal tanking. They are two different concepts, but I think the paradigm is effective here.
With black ops you get a tactical advantage by having a suprise factor in finding your enemy unprepared for a sudden attack after you uncloak, throw on damage fast, and then re-cloak.
With signal tanking, the idea is a little different, but instead of building a philosophy of having modules that increase your HP so that you don't have to modify incoming DPS, you mitigate the DPS through a combination of tactical avoidance and technical avoidance.
I think the sensor/radar system is similar. The smaller your profile the less likely someone in the vicinity will find you, before you find them. The sooner you see the enemy the better. And two people using this ability would be more than 2x effective if you utilize effective flanking. The scan radius of the scout suit has to be the biggest advantage of its stats. And running around as a scout with assaults will make you a force multiplier for them while they protect. |

I don't use knives, but Nova implies explosive damage which probably means shields resist them fairly well. Going through a heavies shield then all the armor could be tough. You problem probably isn't your sensor profile. |
