In the ETO highlevel bombers occasionally hit ships in harbor. But at
sea the bloody things insist on evading once they see the bombs come
out of the bomb bay. BTW wouldn't an artificial wind input to the
Norden bombsight compensate for ship travel? I know you treat target
motion the same as wind in dive bombing and strafe. However, during the
Bismarck Sea episode low-level skip bombing was murderous in every
sense of the word. There were plenty of medium bombers - mostly B25s
with up to 8 50-cal in the nose for SEAD so the heavies weren't needed.
BTW there is a late book out on the Bismarck Sea Battle (q.v.) so root
it out of your local library - very good read.
