new horrible zoom feature?

[anytime]

With this update, when I am zoomed outside my tank the camera keeps zooming in and out...this is HORRIBLE TRASH.

Game is trash. Wargaming is low end at this stage. Totally lame

I figured out the issue...this update apparently turned on my "reverse zoom" control. Wow...I can't believe anyone would want to use this. About made me sick.

you can turn that off in your settings :)

Thanks for the response. Since I had never used it, I didn't know what was the cause. That was the issue. I look through the settings a couple times, and it wasn't until I thought maybe "reverse zoom" doesn't mean what I think it means in context to some of the other settings. Reverse zoom initially seemed most likely something more of an "invert", not a sea sickening goofball zoom in/out.

Then I thought wait, it is zooming WHEN I'm reversing too (but not ONLY when reversing), and that turned out to be what it was. If it literally only activated when reversing, it would probably be good to use, IMO. But it was any time I was zoomed external view.

well, i am still not sure if i should keep this reverse zoom or turn it off... guess i have to do some more battles :)

I really like the change to the third-person camera view, it does take a bit getting used to though. The camera had a problem previously where it would intersect with the ground or an object and cause sudden and jarring shifts in perspective to compensate. It's actually a very common problem for a lot of different games using a third-person perspective, the solution here seems to involve a forced zooming out to avoid the opposite problem of a forced zooming in.

This gives me motion sickness. When I go to third person view, it zooms out so fast.

Yeah I don't get why we can't zoom "fully out" as far as reverse zoom does. That doesn't make any sense. Basically, 2 zoom out levels when in external view.

I've played FPS games for years...Anyone that ever played Descent knows this reverse zoom is nothing compared to that except it's horribly implemented.
