I think you may be confused, maybe its possible to skip with a stuka maybe if they were dropped horizontally, but the idea of the dive bomb is so the bomb is falling as near to vertical as possible.
Same too with the He111 with the bombs being stored vertically when they release they tumble at first then after TV they are going near vertical with not as much as horizontal movement compared to horizontal loading
