Exact drop height is insignificant if you use parachutes or wings to slow vertical descent rate.
Modern ram-air parachutes have glide ratios of 3 or more to 1. ... modern para gliders even more.
If you limit parachute technology to Rogallos, you can still exceed glide ratios of 2:1.
Modern gliders exceed 50:1, obviating the need to fly directly over the doomed ship.
TOW is a modern anti-tank rocket with wire guidance. A Zeppelin no longer needs to hold course after releasing a torpedo .... as long as the bomb-aimer can still see his torpedo and target.
Also remember that deck armour is a mere fraction of the thickness of armour at the waterline .... favouring dive-bombers or steeply-arriving steerable bombs.
