The problem with the old bombing system was that it was too easy to pinpoint targets from 30K.

If you allowed both most would use the old one because it was  much easier and much less frustrating.
The current system gives you no clue if your calibration is good or not. The only way to know is to bomb.
The new bombing system was a mistake IMO.
They are complicated and simply frustrating.
The old one was too easy though.

Bomb dispersion would have worked IMO.
Fly at constant speed decreases dispersion.
Turning would increase dispersion.
You also have the bonus of decreased precision at high alt.
So no more 30k lanc closing bases.
All with a system that seems much simpler.

Must admit I haven't been in a bomber since 1.10. Frankly because I can't see anything their use for. Since there are no strategic targets or such worth the 1 hour plus to even bother with.

Which is one of the reason few people bother learning to use them.  They are useless since strat targets cannot have too much effect without ruining other player's fun.
Which is not the point of bombers.

And why should I bomb targets for perks when the only plane I can get with them is the useless Arado 234. :confused:

The problem is that we cannot go back to the old bombsight because it was just too damn easy and boring.
I could bomb acks from 20k with 50 kg bombs in my Ki67. :(
