How do you use sniper tracer

I 'm stuck on using the sniper tracer rifle to tag an enemy vehicle. I get to the relay bunker. I go inside and wait for the enemy. They arrive and i'm stuck in a third person view and can't bring up the scope of the sniper rifle. They end up blowing up the relay bunker and soon they get to me. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get out of this mess. Right now I'm dead in the water. Thanks.

I forget how to change cameras but I wanna say it's like, shift+f1 for cockpit/1st person view. Make sure you shoot the red dot on one of the sentries

This is too difficult because:
- You can't move when you are pointing with sniper
- Changing from/to sniper -mode is very slow
- It takes ages to reload sniper

What a rubbish gun and mission.

It's possible it's changed, but my recollection from the original game is that sniping is hopelessly broken because it's so bloody easy to do.

For the record, that particular mission two (iirc, it's at least one, but I'm pretty sure it's two) of the sentries will full on stop moving in clear view of the comm relay. The challenge is mostly in that you can't miss because the sniper rifle requires a full magazine of ammo. Hit one of the Sentries and the group will (again, iirc; it's been a few years) immediately go be somewhere else.

And for the record, all your infantry weapon altfires keep you from moving because most of them are brokenly powerful, if a little situational.

Only difficulty in that mission is that you do not really know very well where the sentries are coming from and people may get a bit disorientated when inexperienced. So you die once on an easy mission and do it again ..... oh the drama :D

1. This is a 4 YEAR OLD POST

2. The issue was he was unable, for some reason, to enter sniper mode in the first place. Either cause he didn't know to hit right click, or there was a genuine binding issue.
