How do you move the camera up and down?

[CleverBird]

Apologies if this was mentioned in the tutorial... but the tut bugged out on me and I never got to finish it.

Currently in the second mission of HW1, and I cant for the life of me figure out how to move the camera up or down. Action is constantly happening overhead, forcing me to play in the tactical view mode.

Also, how can you move your units up and down?

This was one horrible tutorial...

camera vertical movement via mousewheel.

unit vertical movement is hold rightclick for movement command, then hold left click to move the move command up or down.

Huge tip: Use alt to lock onto specific entities and then hold the right mouse button to rotate freely around them. That's how you usually want to navigate in the game.

The mouse wheel only zooms in and out, it doesnt pan the camera up or down.

I've found a workaround... Whenever there's a unit fighting above the camera, I go into tactical view, click the unit, center the camera on it, then leave the tactical view

But surely there's a better way?

You can use "F" to quickly lock the camera to your selected unit.

Thats been my workaround for the time being, but you cant seriously tell me there's no way to manually move the camera up or down (not zooming, thats something else).

Use Insert and DEL to move up and down ;)
