That's why the B-52's bombing algorithms are the exact same as what was used in the Norden bomb sight. Only differences are:
1) the calculations are done by a computer (our Offensive Avionics System) versus a human being
2) our primary aiming device is our radar versus an optical sight (provides all weather capability)
3) We have better means to account for wind effects on the bomb as it falls
My best effort in an unguided weapon delivery as the bombardier was a 17' bomb from 23,000'.

Especially considering the technology of the time and the incredibly uncomfortable conditions the crew were facing.
