If you drop 5 MK82s with a 100 ft spacing going 500knots 100 ft altitude the first bomb will hit 200 ft behind you and the third one will hit what you aimed at,
If I remember correctly that's not a bug, it's a feature. Really, I remember there being a huge outcry at Frugal's when they changed that, and some LP representative, maybe Ed1, said they did it because it's like that in the real thing. I don't know if they're right about the real thing, but that's how it went.
You're absolutely right they did call it a "feature", that's why I worded it as "changed".
And it can't be real, if you drop an even number of bombs, you can't hit your target. Say you drop 4, 2 drop before and 2 drop after the target. And in CCIP it would be impossible for one to drop 200 feet behind you, it would have to drop before you pickle the target, at that altitude they will come off the rails almost immediately.
