Don't snipe OR just commit suicide repeatedly. Well I'm running around with the ground troops as a sort of skirmisher so I'm not hill sniping.
There we go.
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.

That was my first ever sniper fit on my Scout G/1-Series. I've never changed it (except when scouts got a buff, I put on a STD CarReg and Kincat and upgraded nanohives). It's never let me down.
Use Tacticals for counter-sniping. Three headshots in quick succession will kill almost anything out there.
This came to mind.
Heavies survive 3x Tactical headshots. Commandos survive 2x Tactical headshots (and a missed body shot)
If you have a pulse, and there isn't lag, you'll never get triple tapped in the head with a tactical.
Also the new sight isn't going to allow you to triple headshot anything moving.
The increase to damage mods from 5% to 7% has added somewhere between 12-20 damage per shot. It's not something that makes any noticeable difference. Not on shots per kill, not on alpha strike damage.
If you have to keep moving you're not ruling anything. That's less time spent killing, and you're increasing your chances of being seen. The mobile sniper although fun, has a low kill count, and even less war points.

Here's a fun happy circle of revenge.
They try to snipe, I kill them they give up and either
a) go play with the rest of the cogs on the ground
b) try to hunt me down with a drop ship
They try to infantry, I kill them they give up and either
a) change to sniping, and get themselves killed again
b) try to hunt me down with a drop ship
Anyway, having the higher ground is generally best for sniping. Vantage point and cover.

If there's nothing left to kill I'll focus on heavies, but that's like half the infantry now days.
