Concerning cameras

Not sure what's wrong with your client, but my green beta client behaves exactly as blue has always behaved:
Mousewheel zoom out.
Mouselook (hold right mouse button) + move mouse left / right = heading changes
Mouselook (hold right mouse button) + move mouse up / down = camera angle changes
Mouselook (hold right mouse button) + keyboard left / right = strafe

This is the EXACT behavior that the patch notes descibe as being introduced in 2001. It is not classic and it makes the game MUCH easier, because:

3rd person gives you more situational awareness
classic 3rd person had the disadvantage of being very clunky to control

So in classic, 1st person vs 3rd person is a trade off. Many people played 1st person. The way p99 is now, 3rd person is really superior for all but immersion.

You do this in top down and chase modes? I know this is how it works in 1st person and mousewheel 3rd. We know the latter isnt classic. I started this thread talking about the f9 modes and THEIR adjustments.

On green beta right now, chase mode mouselook up+down didn't change camera angle. It moves the camera up and down vertically. Mouse wheel doesn't affect either top down or chase cameras. Etc.
