I see the zooming is truly zooming, and not just moving the camera backwards.

How often would you need to use the max-zoom setting, especially in TH? And how often do you use the alternate camera angles?

Potential grade: C+

Lack of 1280x768 is a consequential flaw.

I see myself using pretty much all of the available viewpoints, zoom levels and angles available while playing. In cockpit view for instance, I'd use the mouse wheel to zoom in to the mounted guns while shooting, then "lay back in the seat" for plain flight. I can also save my Hor+ view settings to file by pressing F10, thus creating new default Hor+ cameras for each plane model.

In other words you don't really have to go through the "hassle" of zooming out from Vert- viewpoints each time you start a mission, thanks to the integrated camera customization/saving features. Even if you don't use these, you're basically just 3 mouse wheel turns or keystrokes (one for each free cam) away from Hor+ at the start of a game, and switching cameras won't reset your angle/zoom level until you quit to the main menu.

Hope this answers your question, I'm having a hard time trying to phrase this in a smoother way... :oops:
