You seem to have a lot of misconceptions in regards to air combat as dive bombers don't actually preform better in smaller slots. In fact, Ryuusei Kai actually preforms better than this plane in a smaller slot during the opening airstrike.

(Bomber's Dive Bomb or Torpedo stat) × √(Number of Planes) + 25 is how plane attack power is calculated

Using this calculation, in a plane slot of 6 planes, this plane has 49 attack power while Ryuusei Kai has 56 attack power. With the torpedo bomber modifier this becomes either 45 or 84 with a 50% chance for either. So you can see that even with the 80% modifier Ryuusei kai performs only slightly worse than this plane (45 vs 49). However with the 150% multiplier Ryuusei kai gets a huge increase compared to this plane (49 vs 84).
