Shortgaze Dethroned?
So yea maybe shortgaze isn't the best scope for snipers.. If you look at the numbers in the link you'll find Longview 10 has more aim assist. And I know it isn't all about aim assist, but longview also provides the same viewing range as shortgaze & ambush as its a similar archetype of scope being that it's only .5x more zoom(from 4.5x to 5x zoom). Pair it with snapshot and it'll aim faster than shortgaze w/o snapshot. So with hidden hand + longview on the 1k stare you'd actually end up with some of the highest aim assist values possible. What do you snipers think about this?
Edit: this post has had more replies than anything I've ever posted lol.... Cool to see lots of snipers sharing their thoughts... Most say ambush is beat. snappy & agile handling outweighs aim assist. I guess though it's totally up to the wielders preference

Ambush, all day, every day.

1 ReplyHave always favored shortgaze, but recently got a 1000 yard with Longview SRL10, snapshot and unflinching. I'm digging it.

Shortgaze has a smaller reticle which I favor for sniping
-
I personally like to roll with the Ambush scope. ShortGaze isn't bad, but I prefer the stability and reload increase from Ambush more, probably because I had an LDR back in the day.
-
Everyone doubted me when I liked Longview better...
-
I didn't realize this. I've been using Longview forever
-
1 ReplyPeople also mistake it for the Longview 20 which blows and is really slow.. To me the Longview 10 is just like shortgaze .. It even is the same blue scope and everything
-
Nothing beats the patience and time scope..

8 RepliesReal snipers know ambush is the way to go! If you've been sniping from day one you know AA is for scrubs and when it's finally reduced we'll all be perfectly fine :)

IMO the best scope is the one you're most comfortable with. For me I prefer sniping with Stillpiercer because I like the reticle, unfortunately this weapon is limited to just Hunters. Outside of that I've always been a fan of Shortgaze, I like how the scope feels like I can zoom in faster. The only criteria I look for in a sniper is can it shutdown a newly revived player, a sniper can have all the aim assist in the world but if it cant do that one thing its not going to get used often.

1 ReplyEdited by Deekbag: 2/21/2016 6:21:24 PMI choose ambush over any other scope. Just feels right to me.

Shortgaze and Ambush master race

4 RepliesEdited by InfernalDemise: 2/21/2016 4:12:23 PMI've always hated long range scopes in every game, so shortgaze is my favorite. Ambush is my 2nd choice.

2 RepliesI love Longview. It handles like Ambush though.

Shhhh, don't tell all the hype train kids.

Edited by Art Vandelay: 2/21/2016 4:28:23 PMIve always liked Longview better I feel it has the same zoom distance as snipers from other FPS games, so it was easier to pick up for me

1 ReplyWish I could just use stillpiercer with every class.. 1ks just feels like a brick compared to that puppy.. if you use a 1ks on your hunter, let's be honest. You're not a sniper.
-
I've got a 1k stare with Longview and hidden hand. I laugh when people try and downplay aim assist.
-
I have Longview 10 with hidden hand .. I love it it's in my hunter I think right now .. I've had like 8 1kys and this is my favorite

"Pair it with snapshot and it will aim faster than short gaze w/o snapshot" you don't sayyyyy
