It is a big investment so get a protoscout and fit it with proto range amps first , then give it the same gear.
Edit , I just played 2 games with it again, You try and put your self about 40 meters from your main group and cover a blind spot,
You take pot shots at the enemy, and duck and hide you don't have the hit points for gun battles
, The tracers make the other blues aware of where some reds are, And if you see a tank or heavies scan them
You have two long range weapons at your disposal. If you stay outside of your enemy's weapon range, then you can take a few hits even though the Hawk doesn't have many hitpoints.
Have you tried these tactics for raking in more WP:
1. Play the Hawk as a Hawk: Perch and use your keen senses to discover your prey. Use your scout's natural jump abilities and cloak field to sneak up into high positions, running up slanted support structures to get on top of kettles (water towers). From there you can easily control your cover and shoot down at distant enemies.
2. Use your active scanner to discover equipment and use your cloak to sneak in and destroy it.
3. Use your active scanner, passive scans and cloak to sneak in and hack installations. I wouldn't hack letter objectives with a Hawk since you have a locus grenade, as opposed to a flux. Only fluxes can clear out all of the REs on an objective with some degree of certainty. Also, the Hawk doesn't have REs to rig an objective, so it's not good at anything relating to letter objectives.
4. Use the bolt pistol to sneak up on unsuspecting enemies who are standing still and aim down sight to get a headshot and drop them in 1 or 2 rounds. Use the damage indicator at the bottom of the screen to maximize the % damage.
5. Use wide open areas to maximize the effectiveness of your rail rifle.
