Introduction

複葉の九六艦爆から一新、単葉の近代的な艦上爆撃機として登場しました。
「九九艦爆」と呼ばれ、「九七艦攻」と共に初期の機動部隊の攻撃隊戦力の中核を担います。
固定脚の低速機であるため、より高性能な高速艦爆「彗星」にその座を譲っていきました。

It has been completely redesigned from the biplane Type 96 Carrier Attacker and resulted in a modern monoplane carrier-based bomber.
Called the "Type 99 Dive Bomber" and alongside the "Type 97 Torpedo Bomber", it formed the core of the initial task force's strength.
As it was a low-speed, fixed-gear aircraft, it was replaced by the more advanced high-speed "Comet" naval bomber.

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.
