Introduction

シンプルかつ頑丈な作りの傑作急降下爆撃機です。
大戦初期の機体でありながら、旧式化したあとも長く使われました。ドーントレスの愛称で呼ばれた本機は、練度の高いパイロットであれば、ある程度の対空戦闘も可能でした。
本機は黄色く塗装された翼を持つ気体で、初期の大型航空母艦に搭載、Yellow Wingの名で親しまれていました。

This is an excellent dive bomber with a simple yet sturdy design.
Although it was an early war plane, it was used for a long time after it became obsolete. Named the Dauntless, this plane was capable of some level of anti-aircraft combat in the hands of a highly trained pilot.
This plane had yellow painted wings, and was installed on early large aircraft carriers and was affectionately known as the Yellow Wing.

Mechanics

Dive Bombers are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Dive Bombing" Dive Bomber Attack stat being the most important factor in this regard. Dive Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI).

Notes

Not to be confused with other aircraft of this family (see here).
