Just a couple of things David198502. When you select the bomb load for the bomber, go into the bomber 'Group Properties'. Select 'Weapon Set' Default (Stock) then activate the drop down screen on this line and you will see the types of bomb load. Select the bomb load you want and it will be placed into the line. Many people miss this second step to load the bombs correctly.
Have a look at the 'Detonators' line underneath and select a detonation time for your bombs.

On the bombing waypoint select the 'attack area' symbol, place the waypoint directly over the target. You may have to adjust this waypoint by testing where the bombs actually fall.

For Stuka dive bombers it is the same as above, except you should use the 'attack target' wayoint and set the waypoint to the target as described by 'SYN_bliss' in his post. The Stuka 'attack waypoint' should be approx. 3000m high with the next waypoint at 800m.

Hope this helps?

Check 'Detonators' in Group Properties that the slide bar is saying 'charging 0 sec delay'
You should see the bomb type above this line - example below

GP Bomb, SC50, Grade II, Body type J
C50 (5) - High Altitude (> 1km)
