How about a compass in the nose position and/or bombsite
of bombers?

You can see the compass from the bombsight (and sometimes front gun) position of following bombers:

Ar-234 bombsight - look forward
B-25C bombsight - look left
B-25C front gun - look left back
B-26 bombsight - look right (but seems broken atm)
B-26 front gun - look right back (broken the same)
B-29 bombsight - look left
B-29 front gun - look left
Ju-88 bombisght - look forward
Ki-67 bombsight - look down
Tu-2 bombsight - look forward

just curious, why the need to have a compass in the bomb sight?  and by that I mean look at it.  to me it would be more important to get a message saying "hey stupid you set the bomb salvo to 100, instead of 1"  did that the other day in b29's.  a 2 hour flight wasted.

It would be nice to see the heading one is on
to hit a target
