I always liked how you could zoom out farther in other mods to scope out the area; camera zoom is limited in FO.

I'd like to be able to zoom out further too. I assume the zoom out distance is limited because of performance problems, however i think the new PCs should be able to render a bigger scene without slowdown.
I do know that Armada2 engine does NOT take full advantage of new hardware, and these new videocards for example aren't so much faster in Directx8 applications than the old ones. They are created and optimized for the modern graphical engines, but still, i think they have enough power to deal with Armada2.
Some explosions cause a moderate FPS drop even on new hardware, but that's mostly the problem of the engine itself, other than that it runs fine. Let us zoom out more
