It has a view. Pressing the letter "O" should show it. It's for just as it's named; observing.
It can tilt much higher vertically than the attack scope, so you can look for aircraft, i.e.

Also had a larger head on it. In the game you can also attack with it, but I don't believe that was how it was used in reality (not sure though).
