All of those Japanese torpedo bombers and medium bombers carried the same torpedo, so other things do matter.

With B5N and B6N the only notable diffence is speed.

Fighters can catch slower planes faster, make more attacks on it and score hits it easier.

And usually it's easier for AA to shoot slower planes, except if you are Bismarck.

But anyway they decided to give other stats to SBD so it would be usefull at some situations, since nobody would need another dive bomber with 10 or less bombing stat, some ASW and nothing else.

Tanaka's fault for adding larger planes so early and not giving any penalty when used on carriers, which were not able to operate them and making it so easy to get enough of them.
