Need to be able to zoom out more

[Daetrax]

It's basically an unplayable mess until you let us zoom out more.

Games better with the Zoom out mod, there's no doubting that. Definitely feels needlessly zoomed in by default.

[Daetrax]

It's just for those of us with a monitor bigger than 16 inches and while we're at it, let us scale the UI. It's obtrusive.

I always thought only people who cant micro and their APM is close to zero asks for zoom outs. So i guess l2p and skill issue.

Check the Workshop. There's a mod for that already.....

[Mr.Petters]

Make your own MOD. It's quite simple :)
I've done it by making a Tuning Pack. Click on *Attributes* - Select *Camera* - and Clone the following settings: *Default* + *Default_Camera* + *Default_Multiplayer*
Then open *Cam_module_Isometric* - and there you have it: *distance_max* and *distance min*

I found these settings on the web, so it's not myself who deserves the Credits... :)

Have Fun Modding!!

How about campaign?

Does this work outside of custom skirmish though? Like just editing the files manually on your save?

The current zoom level is kinda good for when your troops need cover, A strategic zoom to show the over all map might be nice if playing on a big map, Sort of like supreme commander's strategic zoom.

Mind you we only have a small population limit anyway so big maps might not work very well.

The game needs 2 more zoom levels to feel acceptable in my book.

No it's an uncomfortably low FOV that's worse than the older games, COH 1 might be an exception but we all had tiny monitors back then..

I use the Camera mod and just 1 or 2 zoom ticks does the trick we're not asking for overwatch over the entire map lol, I think you'd do worse doing that.

I have a 32 inch monitor and I don't have a problem with zoom. perhaps utilize alternative camera paninng controls, use groups and hotkeys more often, etc etc. Its not like you are looking through binoculars or anything

You've always had those people who seem oblivious to FOV (more power to you I guess) but any game released this decade should be adjustable and yet CoH3 is a regression.

I win most of my matches it has nothing to do with performance (I don't think a wider FOV would make a meaningful difference anyway, a higher refreshrate would be more significant imo) it's a comfort issue and it applies to all kinds of games, I wouldn't even exclude 2D games to be honest.

[Patriot03]

It's quite pathetic to see people who are fine with restricted FoVs lecture others on what they find to be comfortable, FoV is a quality of life setting no different than higher resolutions to reduce eye strain and high refreshrate for the same purpose.

No doubt the same crowd who insisted the human eye couldn't see past 30FPS.


People who think it has a meaningful impact on gameplay and therefore should be restricted to minimal levels are out of their mind, if that's the case let's lock everyone to an obtainable 30 FPS and the same resolutions lol.... But even for those kinds of people just make it to where everyone can zoom further out - Boom, balanced.


The restricted FOV is simply an oversight on the part of the devs.
