Fog graphical effect(not FoW), how do i disable it

Not sure how am I supposed to play the game, I honestly can’t see almost anything on some maps without zooming-in.
Is there any possible way to remove the fog effect at max zoom?

This is my screen from one of the missions:

The game was never designed to go beyond 1650 distance. Fog is not dynamic in nature and would require a systemic fix likely requiring updates to many/most campaign maps as fog is set via triggers and was calibrated for 1650. Unfortunately you’ll need to stick close to 1650.

Yeah there is nothing you can do about the fog really. I mean, custom games can disable the fog no problem but campaign maps were designed around certain parameters. The ability to zoom out farther is actually very new and was added during Reforged. The campaign was designed 20 years ago when there was no plans for that.

Just a note that we discussed the feature back in 2018 after accidentally increasing the default height in a PTR. The pro community wanted it but it had to be cut prior to shipping. One of the adjacent tasks was to implement dynamic fog so the campaign would automatically adjust.

You’d think there would be a performance option to toggle the fog regardless, it baffles me that there was never a video option for it.
