This is for beginners like me. If you have suggestions please add them. I could find no instructions for low level and dive bombing for the HE 111. Probably cuz it was a high altitude bomber but I have been using successfully for low level.
To start with, I have keys set up for all facets of bomb control thanks to ATAG-BKellum but the only keys that seem to work with the HE 111 are the arm bombs and Bomb series delay (BUG?).
So for low level and dive bombing this is how I go about it. On the runway I go to copilot position and look at bomb-sight to ensure it is set to only one on light (default) and set the series delay to Zero. This can be seen in the first jpeg. This means I have complete control over the low level drop. “I have to press the button for every bomb dropped”. This allows you to control whether you want a series or just a couple on any single target.
In the air you arm bombs and open bay doors. As you approach the target start your dive. I use the nose gun as the bombsight. When the nose gun is just prior to the target, start dropping. I used the two pine trees to line up on and the first pine tree as the drop trigger when the gun was on or next to the pine tree. You can see this illustrated in in the second jpeg. Speed was ~250 to 300.
I manually triggered all 8 bombs as I flew by, you can see the result in the third jpeg. Perfect for a tank farm or with a bit more delay between button presses, a pass down a runway.

Hope this helps somebody. The HE 111 is a lot friendlier to fly than the JU 88 for a beginner and packs a similar punch!
