I guess you had a cake in the oven, Zel :D

On the topic of searchlights. Equipping them on planes at night not only makes them a target but is also ineffective because they move too fast. What planes use for finding things at night are called search RADARS. During later stages of WW2 night fighters were equipped with those.

As for dive bombers unable to attack installations I know this for a fact that it's a game mechanic here. However, it seems very illogical to me. Dive bombers were created for the sole purpose of precision bombing of ground targets or surface vessels at sea. An enemy installation is a ground target, therefore it should be easy for dive bombers to hit them.
