free cam can no longer go below the sea surface? bug or intended?

[Flukeyluke]

pointed out this unhelpfull change on the ptu server feedback but it still made it on to the live server :/

 

so the CTRL+shift+backspce free camera cannot travel close to or below the surface of the sea where as before it used to be able too,

for normal players they wont off noticed this change with the update but to us who make skins for ships this is a real inconviniance as we can no longer check the skins right on the bottom other than dieing and hopeing the ship roles over.

 

this also complicates getting low down shots of ships for screen shot competitions etc....

Agreed. But as a tester of said functionality, I can't exactly see any problems with the current one either, as it is much better than what we had before (i.e not anything at all). I would guess WG want to deny players the possibility of seeing the sea floor, as that is probably not modelled at all.
