No, it isnt "fixed" and to be clear, that isnt a bug, its a design choice.
The Guys you are speaking off maybe uses a mod to zoom out, that mod is only useable in skrimish (PvE and PvP). but not within the campaign.

how can i find lobbies that have this mod? when i played multi i wasn't able to view servers it would put me in a queue and search for one. i would be down to buy this again if there was a way to join random player lobbies with this mod

Nope.

CoH games have been this way since 2006.

You must be a migrating Total War player. You'll get used to it.

I'm so used to the camera that I don't even think about it. I'm constantly clicking on the minimap to view quick snapshots of the battlefield and making adjustments.

The minimap in CoH is the most important thing in the game. More than any other video game that I've played. You don't need a zoom in or out in CoH games. When you get good, you'll understand why.

It's pointless. Unless you are a slow-poke type of player, that likes to slowly build up everything on easy mode and pretend that you are in a city-building simulation.

give me the link.
are you sure that you saw a vanilla CoH 3 gameplay? Every CoH has the same camera zoom. Unless it's a mod for CoH 1

I assume its a mod too. It's unfortunate. Look how uncramped this game looks when presented this way.

Also to the other poster, I have 1000 hours in coh1 and the camera zoom was not as focused in as it is in coh3. I prefer the top down perspective with a 45 degree angle at a comfortable zoom level allowing for a few hundred meters of map to be shown at one time.

God I wish we could pull the camera that far back without mods.

its just a matter of time and you will get used to it.

You can "fix" it with a mod but its impossible to use this mod in online matchmaking unranked/ranked. Just in custom games you can use it in the multiplayer.

First i thought this too, the max zoom is to low but after some games, its ok for me.

And think of this, its not only a design choice but is helping your system performance because you have fewer units and objects on the screen which are needed to pe rendered etc.
