I'm quite surprised how little whining there is about sniping or generally defending an area in Battlefield 4. So kudos for that to the community.

EDIT: Example of a great defensive position is in BF4's Zavod 311/331 (whichever). Is it US' first flag, with the tower, F? Anyways, in that map,
both sides do lots of helidrops on each other's first flag (F and A). Usually the attackers on F go to the tower and either look through the windows
or go all the way to the top. Unfortunately for them, the tower is visible from the US spawn and the small buildings at spawn are good places to
sit in and wait for any attacker to raise his head enough to get shot through the window.

Flag A is very similar, just no tower. I always get a medium range scope (x4) and sit near the Russian spawn that has great visibility towards A.
Last night, joining midgame, I ended up with 19/3 stats simply defending A as a short/medium range sniper.

I have to disagree about relocating after every shot. Of course, there are situations where that is necessary, if for example the game has a killcam.
Doing so unnecessarely heightens the risk of being visually spotted.
