Introduction

「九九艦爆」の後継として開発された高速性能を誇る水冷エンジンの艦上爆撃機「彗星」。
その「彗星一二型」に、新開発で運用実験途中の「三一号光電管爆弾」を搭載した特殊兵装機です。
光電管による電光の反射を信管が受信して爆発する特殊爆弾搭載「彗星」。
最後の最後まで、正攻法で粘り強く戦った、あの「芙蓉部隊」も積極運用したと伝えられています。

Developed as the successor to "Type 99 Carrier Bomber" and boasting a high performance, water-cooled engine, the "Suisei".
This "Suisei Model 12" is additionally armed with newly developed experimental "Type 31 Photoelectric Fuze Bombs".
These bombs are equipped with special Japanese proximity fuzes, which detect reflected light to explode.
They were reportedly used by the "Fuyou Squadron", which fought tenaciously on the frontlines until the very end.

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 Imp.
They cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.

Night Aircraft are planes that contribute to Carrier Night Air Attack damage.

Only Night Fighters and Night Torpedo Bombers are capable of actually enabling the Carrier Night Attacks.

This plane has Anti-Air Resistance.

0.6 Ship AA Modifier

This dive bomber has the ability to target installations during shelling.

Notes

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