Changing Camera Perspective in battle?

[MARS42]

As there is no manual in the game, i haven´t found out yet, how to turn the camera in battles, to get other view perpectives. Which short cut or mouse button must i push?
Thanks for help.

Q and E

Just for turning press right click (or it's middle click? I don't remind) then rotation follows the cursor.

I was more surprised to not have also angle changed with the same control that's hyper classic.

Middle mouse button to rotate camera, like in almost any other game.

No press right MB is more common and for me better. And as I quoted usually it also allows change the cam angle, but not in JA3.

It's like left click, it should be a standard to scroll cam even if personally I prefer mouse on border.

And that there's left click or right click other commands usually don't matter, it's not a deal if there's a tiny delay before rotate cam or even scroll it.

Q and E, like any other top down game from the last decade. I don't get people doing it with the mouse. I prefer turning camera and giving orders at the same time. What else is your left hand doing on the keyboard?

Sure click when cam rotates, good joke.

Many thanks for the help :-)

Perhaps not trigger internet wars with you future threads? But you are welcome anyway.

You can also press O for the tactical view or whatever it's called.

for tactical games middle mouse is often the way to rotate the camera... and Q/E is pretty much always the keyboard keys.

Jesus, you would never have coped with gaming in the 90s.

I played games sine the 80's, but yeah skipped games with keyboard only crap UI or some real time and beside a few Roguelike. Mac had more ports that you can guess and all had a top level mouse interface. And FYI mouse was standard even on DOS crap since the 90's, morever joystick was also a standard then. I don't remind well but for example 92 Ultima Underworld, Doom was later.

I see zero reason to not use right press to turn the camera, I only saw middle press recently in some games, could be a new standard but it wasn't.

And Q/E is crap, clearly you have zero clues that there are plenty keyboards that aren't North American keyboards.
