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

He was flying fast at low alt so the bombs where probably not armed on impact. Can't see how the stacking and dropping of the bombs would affect anything in that situation. But like you said I'm a bit confused.
