Camera Controls

[User1984]

I have taken a look at the Manual and am in the process of going through the Tutorial, however,
I am experiencing a lot of frustration with the camera controls.

I have the following questions:

Is there a way to quickly move the camera to a distant part of the battlefield?

What is up with the HITS view? I press the F Key and the camera locks to the unit however the view is extremely
close, and the graphics are horrible. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to lock the camera to a unit and then
pan around the unit to look at it from all angles. I can't move the camera away from the selected unit to actually see
it and what it is doing. The GUI does not indicate when the F view is selected or deselected.

I want to be able to quickly select a unit, lock onto it and be able to move the camera around the unit and zoom in or out.

How can I select a unit and quickly jump to it's location?

The camera controls in this game seem very clunky and difficult to use. Is this game still in Beta?

I did not research all the hotkeys, etc. I got through the tutorial easy by hitting "M" (the map), clicking on area of interest, and ESC to go back. Also right-click and hold on lower menu (not map view) for quick camera rotation.

Rosseau is correct. If you click on the map you go the area of interest immediately.

F is not HITS view, it is a follow camera mode that can be turned on and off. Proper HITS must be enabled in the menu - use a 'custom' difficulty option and set the 'camera distance' to 10m or 20m whatever you like best. This give you a freer camera but restricts your view nicely. Some of the HITS MP groups play with 2m camera distance.

There is an option in the menu - camera stay with OOB move. If you turn that off, when you select a unit in the OOB window on the side you will instantly jump to that unit. There is also a go-tome and go to unit button on the toolbar.
