Camera Zoom Level
​"In Tempest Rising, the camera zoom level is fixed and cannot be adjusted by players. This design choice has been maintained throughout multiple playtests, with developers indicating that the current zoom level is intentional to preserve the game's balance and visual style .​

While some players have expressed a desire for a more zoomed-out view to better manage the battlefield, the developers have not announced any plans to implement adjustable zoom levels.​"

Why... It's so dumb really. Not gonna get it for this reason. It's just ego that's in the way of this logic. This is all I need to know.

It's a completely normal camera zoom level (min/max) for a classic RTS. Seems like a very weird thing to cry about.

Have you ever played C&C or StarCraft?

Go play SupCom or ZeroK or BAR or any of the other Spring/TA RTS games so you can complain about people being able to see everything at once

This is too zoomed in, I just want it to zoom out a little bit so that it's more like C&C and not like Red Alert 3.

They do it so people can't see the entire map in multiplayer (balancing reasons).

One could argue that they should offer different zoom levels for singleplayer and multiplayer but that's a another story.

The Zoom levels are different between Skirmish/Multiplayer and Campaign. The Zoom levels are slightly tighter in on the Campaign, and have been set for tactical reasons. They adjusted the Zoom out for skirmish/multiplayer in the last Demo, after a lot of player demands then, but they have NO intention of allowing any more Zoom out.
Yes more zoom out 10-15 % and full camera rotation by pressing the mouse wheel
