Duh
It doesn't follow their backside, if the unit turns the camera doesn't. I've once tried making unit face another unit so it sees in a distinct direction and have the camera lock on them both(straight line), but it failed.

Edit: Can we choose not to have our post appear on the front page? Its getting kind of annoying.

I just posted the answer in a different thread yesterday. Why don' u peeps look for threads of the same topic before creating ur own? Anyway heres what you do:

Triggers:
Event: Periodical Event:
Every 0.1 seconds.

Condition: Bootlean.
PlayerUnit[#] is not equal to No Unit

Events:
Lock Camera to Target Unit
Set Camera Field: Rotation: Facing Degrees of PlayerUnit[#]
Set Camera Field: Angle of Attack: 310 is nice
Set Camera Field: Distance to Target: I suggest 1200
