Haven't really seen much on the He111 because when i tried it i was still having performance issues with the sim, i didn't know the engine operating limits that well and broke my engines, plus i was also trying to figure out the course autopilot because i was doing it solo in offline mode.
What i can tell you though is that weird things seem to happen to the Blenheim too. While waiting for a hotfix to correct the prop pitch issue on the 109/110 i decided to fool around a bit in the Blenheim yesterday, so i started a free flight mission from the QMB with a load of four 250lb bombs and the detonator that's armed by default.
That mission spawns you near Dover, so i just went across the channel to bomb an airfield in Calais. I flew low, about 3000ft, which makes the IAS/TAS conversions almost non-existent. I kept my airspeed and altitude steady, input the values to the bombsight and had a go.
The bombs impacted and exploded just fine, but about halfway before the release point and the target.
That being said, this test is not really conclusive because i don't know if and how strong a wind exists in that mission. What i'm going to try next is make a "recon" run at tree top level to see the altitude of the Calais coast relative to sea level. I have a feeling that those cliffs could be as much as 500-1000ft high and this considerably throws off the aim, since we need to use altitude over the target in the bombsight and not mean sea level (MSL) altitude.
