It is correctable in round if your tank is near sea level (by pressing "4"), but when not (when buying and trying to analyze whole situation), you cannot zoom lower (if camera is in upper hemisphere).

(2) Zoom. (3) Rotate the view back, inversely to (1). Also I realized that perhaps a similar enhancement could be used for rotating using the right mouse button: The view could rotate around the point the mouse was pointing to at the time the button was pressed. But this looks like a bit trickier to implement.
