as far as i know there were no instruments to aid in attacking moving ships, just pilot skill.
For high level bombing of a moving ship the key is practice and experience. An experienced bombadier will be able to guesstemate the time the bombs will take to reach the ground, add the bomb delay(though you probably wont want any bombing a moving ship), and know you can make a rough guess as to how far the ship will move between bomb release and impact.
I dont know if this was ever done IRL as I imagine it would have a very low success rate.
Attack from behind in a dead straight line and carry more than one bomb. No ships will not make evasive manouveres in game unless the mission builder tells them too.
My personal fave method for taking out ships is to skip bomb, which you seem to be doing using torps
. you gotta pass right over the deck but its tough to miss your target (if you survive the sniper ship gunners).
To practice torpedo attacks make a mission where you are second in a flight of two with your leader set to ace level. Follow your leaders six and watch where he releases his torp, try for a variety of ships at various attack speeds coming in from different angles. Puttin the ship skill to rookie and changing their rate of fire will help you make it close enough.
Practice and Experience are the key words here
