Camera questions

Now that I finally figured out how to hit ships, wanted to watch the action. Why can't I use the event camera? I am in a campaign and don't have it disabled in the options. The only types of cameras seen in that toolbar (F11) that I remember are next unit, previous unit, an option to see my sub below the surface.

The other question how to zoom w/ the camera?

TIA!

Lee

The event camera only comes on when you launch a torp or it's about to hit a target (or miss). Airstrikes are seen in the camera too.

Or a ship is about to sink.

I actually keep the event cam on and external view off for my eye candy fix.

External cam makes it easy to 'cheat', helping with course and ship recognition, whereas the event cam only shows the intersting bits. Gives me a 96% realism score.
