After seeing some whining about the new scope I decided to put a point in and try it out to see what all the fuss is about. I lobe the new scope, so much that i got an NT 11 and am enjoying the challenge.
Redline sniping is really boring so I put it on a cal commando for the damage and light weapon but I don't like being slow. So I cooked up a cal scout fit to do some "Vassili zaitsev" sniping.
Any tips for a rookie sniper?

The only time I have a problem like that is when I'm sniping at a redline sniper from max range. Biggest problem I have is the damn blue flare

Well I'm running around with the ground troops as a sort of skirmisher so I'm not hill sniping.

I find that kind of sniping very boring, I much rather prefer to be down close to the action and help wherever I can.
I like the calmando fit but I really need a squad to help support me because I'm slightly chubby. I am currently using it on my cal scout and i am really enjoying it. I take most of my shots standing up as I am always on the move a pretty close to the action.

Yeah the new circle appears to be only useful at super close ranges. That's the only real positive feedback we've seen so far. Thank you for clarifying why you like it.
I find it useful for ranged sniping too, I'd say as far out as 500m. The only thing I don't like it for is max range redline sniping, but since I find that boring I don't mind. My Thales sniping buddy doesn't seem to have any issues, in fact I'd say he has gotten better.
