Introduction

「九九艦爆」の後継機として開発された高速艦爆「彗星」。
液冷発動機装備のため運用のやや難しい機体ですが、整備体制を万全に、内地で訓練を重ねた六〇一空の精鋭が搭乗します。
機動部隊決戦に向けて、錬成を重ねた六〇一空の精鋭艦爆隊です。

The "Suisei" is a fast dive bomber developed to replace the "Type 99 Dive Bomber".
Problems with its liquid-cooled engine and airframe have been smoothed out, and the 601 Air Group training inland transitioned into this aircraft.
It will then be used by the 601 aboard carriers once the Carrier Task Force is starting to achieve its decisive battle.

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.

Notes

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