Camera view Broken?
I just got this game and love everything about it except for the fact that I cant zoom out far enough to do anything properly. I cant tell where my troops are and I cant select more than a few at a time which is really frustrating. Am I missing some option so I can zoom out and see most of the map to get awareness of locations and directions of my troops?

Only thing even closely related is a post from 2 years ago and the dev replied with something like they were trying to fix it. Am I missing something or is this for balance?

Toasty, I dont think you can zoom out to see the whole battlefield. For awareness of troop location i use the minimap on the larger maps. I make it bigger so i can see it better as needed.
You can assign your soldiers to groups by selecting the soldiers, click + drag mouse across them then with them highlighted, press Shift+1 or any other number. That will assign thouse soldiers to a squad. You can then locate them easily by pressing the corresponding number during the game and the camera will switch to them.

yeah this game is garbage purely becasue of this mechanic. I read it was to cater to people whos pcs cant handle having too much on the screen at once. thats not a good mechanic imo thats catering to the wrong people. why cant they just zoom in more? ugh this game could be the BEST rts if it wasnt for this one mechanic :(

The game switched to 4k textures so the average player pc cannot support it if zoomed out, it was a common problem for many players. There were players who struggled with the zoom out than not. So in order to open the game up to more paying customers, which is important for a small company, the decision was made to reduce the zoom. It makes sense when you think about it. If players couldnt play then there would be no income to support the game development.
I have a computer that can easily handle the zoom out if it was available and i assume you do to, but we are in the minority and i understand the decision they made.

just have an option to toggle on or off and let us decide. do you see my point? its not that hard lol its a balancing thing to make more money as you said. that makes more sense. i dont care about pvp i only play coop skirmishes so its very hard to get a grasp when games like wargame red dragon do it better. just have a toggle for low res higher camera or 4k lower camera. doesnt seem tough. js it ruins the what would imo be the best rts ever :(
