I think they tried to explain it off as the bombs being magnetic or something like that. But they had the same problem in rebels with Proton Bombs falling in an arc

They intentionally went with the lumbering slow heavy multi turreted bombers because of the WW2 movies, and part of me thought, cool idea, but another part of me, the realistic side, said, they're not going to make it because of the whole fighter thing. I mean you look at WW2 raids those bombers got savaged by the Luftwaffe.

They could have done something with modified Y wings or B wings launching walls of missiles but I guess they needed to establish that Poe was an idiot.
