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

Real 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 :)
