grabbed from a boomer forum, at least the D4Y in particular has an actual analog bomb computer manually operated by the gunner-navigator which then outputs calibration commands to the telescopic bombsight.
The thing that irritates me most is that this system is not worthy of a full Norden style level bombsight, but absolutely should be modeled mechanically in the cockpit for first person and Sim use in particular as well as provide CCRP or CCRP-like bomb ring projection in RB at given heights and dive angles, and should be proliferated through many other aircraft with similar systems. The krauts had combined gun-bombsight computers that were semi or fully automatic with pilot operation, the IL-2 could dive and even low altitude level bomb with the eyeball based VV-1 sight system, and I have little doubt that most other belligerents on both sides had systems of similar sophistication. I think America introduced mass production cheater gunsights in '44-'45 that might've also done ordnance aiming things on the side or so while the Axis in usual fashion kept toying with batch production runs of air-to-air cheaters without great urgency or international cooperation, but again produced an absolute shitload of dive and fighter-bomber sight computers for analog air to ground CCRP.
Given that Gaijin has introduced separate battle ratings on the same vehicles split between different game modes, they don't really have any excuse not to model all of this in exchange for a later BR tax if they greatly increase kill rates for specialized interception-vulnerable attackers and dive bombers.
