I dunno, could be, but I can tell you that if you're trying to operate the camera like spring's, then you're doin it rong. If you need to get anywhere fast, the best way is to zoom out move and zoom in. That technique is every bit as fast as pressing shift and moving in spring. I haven't bothered rotating the camera yet.
There are some key things in ruse that lend exceptional control, one of them being automatic unit stacking at which point you can double click the stack and order them around. Another is the fact that as you zoom out, your units get bigger so no matter how far you're zoomed out or zoomed in it's still really easy to order your d00ds around.
Me and sleksa played prolly about 10 or 12 games last night. It was a blast. We started off with 1v1 in which I tried to rush rangers and got my ass handed to me by arty, so the next 1v1 I pulled a cheese lighttank rush and caught him with his pants down (I claim overall victory of our 1v1's because when he beat me it took him 10 minutes to do it, and when I beat him it was over in 4 or 5 minutes
).
But after that we started playing team games and won every single one. The last one we played I struggled a lot. I went antitank first in anticipation of light and med tanks but got surprised by infantry and light arty, then to make it worse, I built a barracks (should have built armor), then I needed planes for the light arty emplacements.... Long story short, by the time the game had ended I had climbed up every single tech tree in the game... I played like crap cause I was starting to get tired (was about 4 in the morning at this point) lol.
We had a hell of a lot of fun though.
