Absolutely agree with you OP! WASD controls would make this game so much better for me. I constantly struggle with the controls and camera in this game, and it definitely breaks immersion.
And half the time, by the way, I have to zoom out just to see where I'm going because I can't tilt the camera up enough to see up a road or something. Give us camera tilt too so we can actually see from zoomed in mode where we are going and what we are doing. There are so many raised surfaces. We really need to be able to look up.
This, so much! I want to look at the world around me, and I'm constantly getting locked into bad camera angles as it is right now.
