why would you need to be able to zoom on the minimap? of all my years of playing SC I never even thought that would be something useful?
Trust me, the ability to zoom in and out and see the entire battle unfold is very, very useful. I also really dislike that feeling that my face is pushed up against the monitor that I get when playing Starcraft. The ability to time attacks from air, ground and sea by looking at the strategic map is key to victory vs other players online.
One of my favorite tactics is to bring ships near shore and then bring some gun ships to fire at something near their shoreline to bring their fighters and AA where I want it placed for bombardment from sea units. Once their units have moved, I can switch between different preset groups of fighters to target sepcific way points and bomb those locations while I start moving in tanks and mechs to take out any ground resistance that survives.
Being zoomed into a screen like I am a bad dog getting my nose rubbed in my own shit does not allow that. I feel to restricted.
Then dont get me on the fact of 44 units in SC2 and 158 total in SupCom lol.
