The trajectory adjustment was manual in the real bombsight. Ours is automatic to simplify things a bit, otherwise we'd have to enter data from tables according to airspeed, altitude and bomb type.
The advantage of how it's done in the sim is that it's simpler. The advantage of the real bombsights is that an experienced bombardier could probably enter an in-between value to account for different types of bombs on board.
I think the best way to account for this in the sim is to experiment, accept that that we should be going after area targets (factories, airfields, etc, no more hitting a handful of vehicles from 3km) and get a couple of wingmen. The SC 50s don't miss by much, they just drop a couple of clicks down from where the bombsight aims, so it's easy to account for it.
I don't know what happens if you select a bombload with one bomb type only though. Maybe loading only SC50s uses the trajectory adjustment more suitable to them, but i haven't tested this yet.
