if u come from the 6 of the ship, then its the same like bombing a stationary ship.
auto-bombsight use in practice (in il2 game):
1) u preset the altitude
2) bring crosshair on target
3) turn auto-bombsight on
4) change speed dinamically until crosshair is fixed on a fix point of the target and not moving from that point (lol)
5) wait for bombs gone
in practice when u come from the ships 6 o'clock, then to keep the crosshair fixed on the target u will have to set less speed to be able to keep it fixed and that speed is the speed of the ship. an example: ship speed is 20kph, so u will need to set 20kph less to keep the crosshair fixed on the target, since the the bomber speed is more than the set speed in the bombsight, the bombs will fall farther from the point where the crosshair was pointed in the moment of "bombs gone". and this distance will be that comes from 20 kph speed difference.
in this way u dont need to calculate how much the ship will move and trying to find a point to aim front of the ship. much easier to aim on the ship and then the rest is done by the auto-bombsight
so in practice bombing stationary and moving ships is the same. by the way u can see in my video how to make the crosshair fixed on the ship by changing the speed only.
another tip: since u can set speed only by 10 kph, and sometimes u would only need to change by 4 or 5kph to make crosshair fixed u can change on the altitude to get it
auto-bombsight is like a 2 variables equation and its like that:
(altitude*X)*(speed*Y)=(crosshair is fixed on target) ====> DIRECT HIT!!!
so u can change either variables vica versa to get the same effect
