Thanks for testing this out.
So, it seems that "attack target" is meant mostly for dive bombing and precision/point attacks, so they turn away as soon as they press the bomb release button, while area attacks give us proper level bombing.
I'll go ahead and add this to the list of things i'm noting down, i want to have some sort of FAQ ready when the US release hits so that any new players can pick up the basics faster: less gnashing of teeth, less repeating the same questions and answers on forums, more time flying
