When I select a single bomb in the salvo I actually have two drop from the aircraft: once when the automated sight reaches the horizontal bar (at 270 degrees) and another at the bottom. I initially thought the sight was just way out of altitude alignment since I only noticed the second impact. Got puzzled about the missing bomb, though!

Is this normal behaviour?

Anyway, the first is pretty much on target but the second release is miles off. See the below vid for my final run. I have 8 x 250 lb loaded and did not correct for altitude (i.e. how far above sea level the target position was). This would easily account for the relatively small miss on the first release:

Thanks to Blackdog_kt's post in this thread for getting me this far and note that there are threads addressing HE-111 bugs here at ATAG and here at 1C.

The "bombsite automation" if left on will do what your experiencing.
