It would make sense for you to reap the benefits of flying high in a full sized bomber and carpet bombing than trying to dive bomb in one in order to get the most out of the run.
This wouldn't make a lot of sense. A bomb dropping from 100ft will do just as much damage as a bomb dropping from 10000ft. The reticule seems bigger since it stays the same, so when you're higher up it's harder to aim precisely. Another argument against this theory is that the bomb reticule doesn't change with different types of bombs, thus the size of the reticule is not related to area damage of a bomb.
