Allow the camera to zoom out further. Half the weapons in the game have a range greater than the max size of the screen.
Most of my fights in Nimbatus involve me shooting blindly at something I can't see. Snipers, rockets, and grenade launchers all reach further than the distance between the centre and edge of the screen – even blasters can outrange the tiny camera box.
This has a whole bunch of annoying effects:
1) I regularly get killed by something that I never saw until it shot me, because I'm approaching it from above or below and it locks on and fires before it appears on the screen.
2) I don't get to see my weapons do anything. I just fire in the general direction of the target for a while, then approach to see if it's dead.
3) If I do want to see what my weapons are doing, I have to fight on a diagonal, because that's the only way the enemy will appear on my screen before it attacks me.
