OK, may be I can tell something useful in case of my experience of using Ju 88 in BLITZ 4.53
1) On Ju88 by default superacharger automatically switch to second stage at altitude above 2500m-2600m, and switch off below this altitude. So you have to be careful when climbing, start look for engine manifold pressure (ATA) from 2000-2300m.
2) Climb with autopilot switched on in mode - course. Do not switch to mode 22, just in moment when you have reached bombing altitude. First, start trimming your airplane to horizontal flight (if you fly with friend in formation, it will be better when leading plain lower down his flaps, just little bit before to start trimming). Check artificial horizon - to fly in horizon. Check variometer - to fly without climbing or diving. Also check airplane instrumental air speed - you must reach usual speed value that your plane fly in mode 22 for certain altitude (try it once and remember or write to notepad). When this done, then switch to mode 22, and lose of altitude and speed change will be minimal.
In usual I start this procedure at least 50km before target.
3) Horizontal level bombing on Ju88 works ULTRA VERY BAD because of wrong scope orientation. I cannot believe that bombing scope can be in fixed view orientation and pointed not to the ground, but to that point where plain oriented. However, in game we have what we have, so the only target for horizontal bombing on Ju88 is VERY BIG targets, like airfield or big area for any wind condition. In addition, it is possible to bomb radar or other long but narrow targets in NO WIND condition or when wind blow from head of plane or from behind. That is because, you cannot compensate slip angle with bombing scope on Ju88 when wind blow from left or right side of your airplane.
In this game, for horizontal bombing it is better to use He111. Blenny or BR20 is fun too, but you cannot take so many bombs, as with Ju88 or He111. But Ju88 is very effective diving bomber with many bombs, that is why it is very popular plane online for match win.
