I don’t get why they got rid of it, I don’t have extensive knowledge of the ballistic computers but from the documents I’ve looked at for the F4D-1 nothing points towards or away from it. Can someone with more knowledge help me understand?
If you have a document/manual on it that’s not classified (Shouldn’t Be), you can look through it and if you find evidence that it does have a CCIP, bug report it to Gaijin.

If there is no evidence it had one then it won’t be fitted.
It is not difficult to find what is was fitted with in the way of fire control - whether this is enough to be a ballistic computer or not I have no idea - Douglas F4D-1 (F-6A) Skyray

Thats the difficulty ive been facing. I found this document that states it was fitted with a Aero 10F-1? I couldn’t dig anything up on that lead though, might be a typo? Regardless my difficulty is finding evidence that the fire control system had a ballistic computer capability. Someone on the forum last week pointed out that according to Wikipedia the Aero 13F should be capable of rocket ccip. I’m going to look into this further, just sent out an email to try and pull some contacts of people who know more about the aircraft. Really annoys me they took its ballistic computer away as I use the plane frequently.
Made a bug report, read through the documents and says it had automatic fire on the Collision setting for the Aero 13 panel. They based the whole claim on the mk46 panel for some reason?
The rocket guidance part is for air to air use, as I had suspected before, and that’s what the “automatic firing of rockets” line in wikipedia means. The excerpt above is from the US Naval Institute’s page on the Skyray.
The Skyray itself is NOT a multirole aircraft, it was strictly an interceptor.
