Introduction
シンプルかつ頑丈な作りの傑作急降下爆撃機の改良型です。
大戦初期の機体でありつつも、新型SB2Cヘルダイバーが広く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呼ばれ、練度の高いパイロットであればある程度の対空戦闘すら可能な名艦爆。
本機はエンジンなどを強化換装したその改良後期型です。
An improved version of the simple and sturdy masterpiece dive bomber.
Despite being around since the early days of the war, it was deployed to the front lines in carrier task forces until the SB2C Helldiver had sufficient numbers to supplant it.
Named the "Dauntless", it is a famous carrier-based dive bomber that is capable of limited air-to-air combat in the hands of a skilled pilot.
This plane is an improved late-war model with a more powerful engine.
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).
