The level stabilizer in the sense we used it in IL2 is no there anymore, it's just a placeholder command in the controls. It might or might not be updated to something more realistic, nobody knows, i'd sure like it thought to be changed to simulate the bombardier giving commands to the pilot: engage level stab to have the pilot under bombardier guidance, then set two more keys to tell him to turn left/right in 1 degree increments and it would simulate us talking the pilot through the run in case of a "manual" run.

With that out of the way, for "normal procedure" runs the way it works now is much closer to how they did it back then:

German bombers fly via a heading hold autopilot (actually, the leader flies on autopilot and the others stay in formation and drop when he does), just like the USAF did later in the war.

For Blenheims and RAF in general (as well as the Italian BR.20s), you just trim for level flight manually. Accuracy is not the same, but the less sophisticated bombsights don't need time to align like the German ones so it's more like a trade-off.

For example, you can't make sudden corrective turns with a LW bomber without upsetting the gyros in the sight and having the reticule switch off, but in a Blenheim you can actually hand-fly it through the bomb run from the bombardier's position because the sight is a simpler, mechanical device.
