I'm sure there are guides out there to explain how to use it, either that or Raptor might see this thread at some point and explain, he's the resident dealer of bomb shaped high explosives after all.
Oh, and I thought I was the resident dealer of occasionally intentional ramming attacks. In either case, the Stuvi bombsight on the Stuka and the Ju 88 works as follows:

1. Set the altitude you want to drop the bomb at.
2. Set the airspeed you think you'll be going at when you reach at that altitude.
3. Dive at target as usual.
4. Place the cursor-thing on the target and release the bombs when you get to the altitude you set (it helpfully informs you with a horn).

After that, both aircraft are supposed to pull up automatically if you've engaged the dive brake. I think...
