Introduction

シンプルかつ頑丈な作りの傑作急降下爆撃機で編成された偵察爆撃飛行隊です。
大戦初期の機体でありつつも、新型機が実戦配備されるまで長く機動部隊の第一線で運用されました。
ドーントレスの愛称で親しまれ、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。
本機はその改良型で編成された、大型航空母艦所属の急降下爆撃飛行隊です。

This reconnaissance bomber squadron was made up of excellent dive bombers, which were simple yet sturdy in design.
Although it was a plane developed early in the war, it was used at the front lines of mobile units for a long time until newer planes were deployed in combat.
It was affectionately known as the Dauntless, and highly trained pilots were capable of some level of anti-aircraft combat in it.
This plane is an improved version of this bomber and is a dive bomber squadron attached to a large aircraft carrier.

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).
