Are the DT members have the willingness to model some piston engine planes of the year 1946?

At the moment the level bombers are probably the most handicaped pilots.
While aiming - they cannot see anything. They have to have the prinded-out bombing tables and conversion handy; and mph/kmh tables as well, plus they hardly can see any terrain. The navigator position in TB-3 was actually PRAISED for a good visibility from it -- all-round and extensive bottom glazing. In game it looks and feels more like flying in a tank - you can not look out, and most of the screen is the interior of a navigator's cabin. The same applies for of most other bombers, by the way.

Maybe there is a possibility to make a navigator workplace to look something like below - with most info at hand, and a possibility in an instant to switch from a bomsight view to the navigation view. And the full set of bombsight controls, so the navigator is not forced to memorize lots of keys.

I think having the map and tables would be nice, but the widescreen view seems excessive and could affect performance for some (rendering two views).

Anyway, I just want to mention that you guys are doing a great job once again. The planes, cockpits, and objects look fantastic and the bomb settings are really useful.
