Camera angle and movement should be independent

From Discord (tazr42):
I don't think the camera should move directly forward in a first person movement way instead of as a camera in RTS where the movement is independent of the camera angle. I'm trying to view the area, not zoom about. If I'm looking across the field then I'm expecting to stay at the same height whilst centring on the landscape, markers, etc. See Dawn of War. Infinifactory gets away with it because it's setting the context that you're a guy in a spacesuit with a jet pack fixing a machine, this trying to provide an overview of the landscape so moving forward should show me the landscape ahead of me, not fly me into the floor.
