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。

Called the Dauntless, this simple yet robust dive bomber was used extensively during the war.
In the hands of a skilled pilot it can even be used as a fighter.

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).
