No offense but... what kind of other strategy would you use as a sniper...?
I mean... the IS itself is specialized in long range attacks, which means: being able to damage the enemy without being affected because of a superior range.
Since they are basically the glass cannon due to the requirements (not being able to move while attacking etc), they are generally support/main firepower with the rest of the squadron supporting/protecting them.
As a sniper, if you are alone and out of the open, you better keep your distance and distract the opponent while doing so, that's just common sense (unless you are BOTH a sniper and a CQC specialist, which is very unlikely). Unless the IS itself has a melee mode switch (which doesn't seem so, since Cecilia was still using missiles after the first shift), you better kite your opponent with the hit and run strategy.
I can't put more emphasis to her speech when she was fighting: she was not taking this battle seriously one bit (until Byakushiki finally formated the First Shift), and she had that defeat coming because of that.
And from the glimpse of that serious battle in Episode 1, she didn't seem to use anything different so huh.
