Ekaton;
Go to the official WOFF web site and then go to the "User Mods" section and look for the "Mark1-W Bomb site" mod by RAF_Louvert. This bomb site will make bomb runs a cinch! Make sure you read the accompanying "ReadMe" file for instructions. This is a JSGME self installing mod so it makes it easy to remove later. It works on a number of aircraft but not all of them. It does work on the Strutter.
Hope that helps you.

. Ekaton, the RNAS began using early versions of the Mark 1 bombsight by early-mid 1915, and the RFC shortly thereafter. The DH4 and other planes were bombing at altitudes of 15,000' to 17,000' by 1917. Average level-flight bombing was in the 2,000' to 3,000' altitudes very early in the war but was quickly moved up to 6,000' and higher due to losses of the B/R buses from ground fire. Since the early bombsights had no reliable windage adjustments to speak of the pilots made their runs either directly into or away from the wind in efforts to increase accuracy. Overall, level-flight bombing in WWI was not terribly effective in terms of damage to the targets, but it did cause a fair amount of panic on the ground as well as effectively redirecting the enemy's money and resources into trying to combat it. Read "Biplanes and Bombsights" by George Williams for a fairly comprehensive study on the subject. Here is a link to a free online copy at Project Gutenberg: Biplanes and Bombsights Hope this helps.
