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" 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).

• They are vulnerable to shoot down during most Aerial Combat phases.
• They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats.
• They cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.

"Fighter-Bombers" are "Dive Bombers", both behaving the exact same way, with the only notable difference being the Improvement effects given by .

Night Aircraft are planes that contribute to Carrier Night Air Attack damage.

• Only Night Fighters, Night Torpedo Bombers, Night Dive Bombers are capable of actually enabling the Carrier Night Attacks.
  • Only those planes will have the full night damage modifiers.
• A combination of those planes only can trigger CVNCI.

Notes

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