While you are playing generally you do not have time to zoom in. Sometimes though you need to look at terrain from a first person perspective though, since the map can be misleading. So I will zoom in occasionally and check lines of sight.
This game looks like fun, and the graphics are awesome. But it seems to play the game well you would have to stay zoomed out, in which case you can't take advantage of seeing the cool graphics. Do you just zoom in during replays, or is the game slow enough that you can play well and zoom in while playing?
a little late but, M1A1 has no gun for the commander seat. M1A2 has a gun for the commander seat. You kept confusing your tanks. So your tank that replaced your 70 on the hill was an A2 whereas the other that had only 1 external mg on the roof was an A1. Thought i should point that out. But great vid nonetheless.
