The A-10C upgrade has guven the A-10C something new to add to an impressive list of capabilities:
a nose camera that looks ahead of the aircraft and the pilot can use this to see the exact spot where his rounds are landing.
This works much like the zoom does on the attack helicopters ingame now, and as the pilot comes in he can see his target from farther away, giving him more space to see his target and fire, then pull away before he gets too deep into enemy lines.

I suggest that in the "radar off" mode, if the pilot hits F9(in the A-10 or SU25) and the screen turns into a zoomed, Camera like(black and white, tiny bit fuzzy) TV screen that has the normal HUD un on it, but it is zoomed in at a 4x zoom(or whatever seems realistic). Then when the pilot hits F9 again(or switches modes) it disengages and the sight is back in the cockpit.
(the A-10C got this upgrade and some SU-25s have forward looking gun cams)

Perhaps the camera could look ahead in negative? So that it would look somewhat like FLIR and require more teamwork to help the pilot distunguish enemy forces.

Good idea ,but the maps are so small when you are in a jet that you have alreadey flown over before you really identify, aim and fire. Different thing of cource when you are playing lock on. (if you ever have )
