The new crosshair works great if... you play a mobile scout. The ability to work within 120-200m is nice,so far i have had good fun with it in that respect. At this range moving targets were also easy.
What sucks.... Harder to snipe players hacking null cannon, the chance of hitting the POINTLESS SHIELD ON THE NULL CANNON is now just a 50/50 thing, no skill or strategic line of sight, just luck.
It is also harder to shoot out equipment, from 10m last night the circle would not register the uplink as being there.
As the OP stated, trying to counter redline scrubbery has become a chore.
They should have made the scope adjjustable, using the new setup as the standard, whilst holding L1 hitting another button would increase zoom and return crosshair to the dot. Weird how in the future the technology goes backwards.
Alternatively, maybe the lower ROF(non tactical) sniper rifles should have increase zoom with old style dot, tactical rifle have a current zoom with current crosshair. I do feel the charge/Ishy were designed for great positioning and area denial, where the tactical works very well as an on the move style sniper, only holding your position for brief moments.

These players don't impact matches generally. If you're already winning your red line snipers do next to nothing. Most red line snipers are not going for head shots because it's difficult and more time consuming at extreme ranges. Most red line snipers are also in Militia suits. Making all snipers more powerful, also makes me more likely to die. I just want to be relevant in PC matches without having to use a Thale's.
Is that so wrong?
Most snipers I see in the redline are commandos or sentinels....
Redline snipers are usually in predictable places, with reticle fever( where they only thing they concentrate on is the dot in the middle of the screen, allowing me to land a dropship beside them and shotgun the **** out them), issue with them is the fact it is low risk and usually free isk.
I think the redline should weaken and decrease in size as the mcc weakens. so as the match ends there is a 10x10 area thats redline

The damage output its UP with this new brandnew assault loadout and EHP, I saw even a 1050 armor Assault ak.0 and couldnt even hit him a single shot (-_-) CCP please bring back the old dot.
I tried c15 sniping yesterday in a domination using the Orbital Artillery Outpost socket. The entire match I was in the city, furthest kill was a little over 120m, I was using a dragonfly scout suit, c15, toxin smg. 17/1, my team won, the whole match I worked to stop the enemy forming anykind of high ground resistance, forcing them into a ground to ground battle.
So, Redline 300m thales(turnip) not so good. Team play sniping within the actual battlefield works...is it bad, or do people want to just hide and rack on low risk snipes from the redline. (OP not included I know he is actually a good infield sniper).

Ran a sniper squad last night, cheap suits and ADV rifle outfield, the average HP of a player in the squad was 300-400ehp. It was good fun, we had good KD/R and caused a lot of problems for the enemy. Mobile area of denial squad. In one match one of our guys had the longest kill of 58m.
I don't think the claims that the new reticle "sucks" are warranted, try adapt to the change, use the sniper as you never did and you will have some fun. I think its great that CCP made the change.
