Full Camera control

[Siem]

Is it possible to have full 3d camera control like in Dawn of War?
Especially when zoomed in really close it would be very cool to see the action from a more human perspective :)

Yes, if you have a scroll wheel, click it and move the mouse. I'm not sure what the other hotkey is for it though.

Thnxz for your reply, but I allready knew I could rotate :)
In Dawn of War it's also possible to change the angle of the view...

Is this possible in Act of War?

More importantly we need to be able to move the camera OUT further. The default is set too close to the action and makes it difficult to manage the action -- especially if air units are involved. I tried using the mouse wheel with the demo but nothing happened. Has that feature been enabled?

And if you want to see a game that VERY effectively uses camera control in a 3D environment. Take a look at Silent Storm. Its not a RTS game (its turn based) but the ability to contol the camera to your liking is very impressie and dramatically improves the gaming experience.

Ya...click and hold the mouse-wheel and you can rotate the camera. Scroll the wheel zooms in and out. I would like just a little more zoom out, though.

And the ability to move the camera angle up & down :rolleyes:

Anyone know how to reconfigure the camera movement?

I have a logitech cordless and it doesnt work - it's not the mouse itself as mouse click and mouse wheel work fine in all other games, zoom works fine, just cannot move camera which is annoying...
