Thank you so much for the feedback, I'll definitely work on the camera behavior and other graphical effects you mentioned. Once I nail down the gameplay, vehicle damage & destruction is one of the high priority items, so rest assured that it will be addressed :)
Also, quick FYI, the gamepad controls are shown in the options menu for playstation / Xbox controllers, and I believe the respawn button is shown there as well. You can also adjust the render distance to adjust the amount of level pop-in, but I'll look into optimizing it to make the effect less pronounced.
