Title: change the viewpoint vs change the camera angle
Post by: pe9298 on May 14, 2017, 11:10:09 pm
I have played this game a while, and I change the viewpoint by zooming in and 'flying' over the battle-scape.

But I saw some tutorials and these have much more control over the camera angle. In particular you can reverse the viewpoint and look from the other side. Very useful when looking for doorways and ramps in a dark scene.

It this part of the game itself? If so, how do the change the camera angle?

Just press and hold down the middle mouse button (the wheel) while you move the mouse. Alternatively hold down the Ctrl key and press left-right arrows, but Ctrl also turn the solider to the direction of the mouse pointer so better if you move the pointer into the sight of the solider first to avoid spending 1TU unnecessarily.
