In one of the future updates we will show something like that. Detection model is done and it is in phase of tweaking. For example, we could show AI gunners instead of AAA in last update .
Similar thing is with AI fighters but in that case what happens after they lose contact is not done yet. We need to make some new maneuvers and logic for that.

FC,
About losing contact: it works also for jabo's and bombers?
I mean, are e.g. jabo's unable to see their ground targets? What happens when a thick layer of clouds (overcast) is present and bombers cannot see their primary target? Large bombers will still drop their payload (blind), RTB or fly to possible secondary?
Will smaller and more nimble planes like jabo's reduce for example altitude and try to get clear line of sight, get into a good firing position and attack it still?
I imagine this new clouds-and-AI feature also opens up a whole new area of needed AI tactics
edit: FC, could you also take a look at the AI of Arado 234? It now uses dive bomber techniques (i.e. completely vertical) while it was (as I understand from reports) used a 'shallow dive' bomber. Just had a mission where A234's dove straight down, recovered a few feet above the ground and some wingmen crashed. I don't think this plane is suited for dive bomber AI. Something else, is the current AI checking minimum required altitude before performing a dive on a target? And what does it do if it finds out it is too low? Will it then use a different attack method or quickly try to increase altitude and still dive?
