What we have now allows for this..............
IMO your 3d modelling of the various positions allows for players to "look out" from the bomb aimers position............
from the bomb aimers position views allow the player to look out of the aircraft to aircraft ahead................ even the B24 with its restriction of the sight blocking most of the dead ahead view can be circumvented by moving the front quarter views up.
They can see aircraft to the front and to the front quarter views dropping bombs and can trigger their own release ................
The reality is that they are dropped off vox any way when this is done "in game"
I would also note that tanks guns (the Gv equivalent) are only accessable from the appropriate position.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
even so...............
F6 is a strange method of access................all other positions on the rides are accessed by numbers............ the bomb aimer from a function key suggesting it is a unique form of view like the other "F's"...a player can only move to the bomb aimers position from the pilots position yet jump around the aircraft to other positions quite happily.
the bomb aimers natural view is thru the sight............. not looking forward.
What we have now ............. works(so why fix it?)
However it would be more logical to give the bomb aimer a position number (0?) which would put the player looking forward in the bomb aimers seat (even with access to the gun he may have had)
F6 then presents the bomb sight.........
F6 would be only available from the bomb aimer position...........
Bombs can only be dropped from this position (0?)............(where applicable)......... whether the bomb aimer is using the sight or not.
AC goes level in F6.....................
