Hi, I’ve made a report for the F-89D to receive the ballistic computer that it had IRL. I’ve also noticed that the B-66B hasn’t received it’s lead computer yet, and there’s also the potential for the B-29 to receive one. What are the odds these are ever implemented?
Here’s my report:

And here’s a great vid on the B-29s mechanical ballistic computer:
most of thoses computers were still pretty much imprecise, as they were doing the same calculation than a bombardier crew had to do with older sights,…
they’re not in any way as close as how the Laser/pin-point accurate as the feature in-game → that’s why they have not been implemented.
even some aircrafts like A-4 skyhawks (older than B model), doesn’t have LABS (AJB-3A computer) or Toss bombing systems implemented, for similar reason
Looking more into the B-29 Computer - it was done only for the “Silverplate” program which are modified B-29 to carry Nuclear bombs.
there is the bug-report for the B-66B : Community Bug Reporting System
F-89D doesn’t really fit similarly to how the Fox-3 systems feature works.
it is closer to a gun leading system (as how it is featured in-game) and the automatic part of it, there is no way it get implemented.
