I would like to ask some DB pros to confirm this. Due to the very superficial manual we get from SDE players have to create guides almost for everything. Logically, ship must be able to dodge the bombs already in free fall only because of maneuvering.  If the ship is motionless and you autobomb it with sucky bombers with close to zero ability you still cannot miss the target, unless your bombs somehow fall not directly down. SS torps can dud and go under the ship, but bombs cannot fall left or right, they have to go straight down. My understanding is that Bomber ability provides planes (not bombs) with durability against AAW, AA and FTs. So small ability on Bombers should kill your planes when you dive but cannot realistically change the accuracy of your bombing. Or can it?

Never EVER autobomb from the South West.
For some reason it rarely hits even if the target is sailing straight (or even standing still). 

What he means by this is do not attempt to divebomb from the side of a ship. Always come in from the rear. You might as well let your bombers get shot down by AA or fighters if you attempt to come in from the side; the bombs are too easy to dodge and more often than not will entirely miss their intended target.

I always do it from the side. If you do it right youll never miss, its just about doing it right. Rear is way too easy to dodge alot of the time, especially by faster ships. Perpendicular works especially well with the fatter CVs that have nice, juicy hitboxes...
