Somewhat, maybe not that much, but I remember firing in a I16/24 with one of the SHVAK disabled by enemy fire, and it did tend to turn you toward the firing gun, which made achieving hits much more difficult. That was a while ago, maybe in the original FB, I couldn't swear it still happens now, but it could be that it does, I don't remember having a wing cannon disabled recently.

B. How well do you think it will be modelled in newer-gen sims like SoW and RoF?

That is entirely up to the developer. All other things being equal, which they never are, I'd prefer it was, but I don't know what I'd be prepared to give up in order to have it.
