Bugger the music, I'd like to know why the installations are still immune to divers and not torpeders. After three years, is that considered a feature or something? Not the best place to ask, I know, but still, can somebody tell me?

It's working as intended: Archer88 wrote:

The thing with torpedo bombers is that they can be equipped with regular bombs and used as level bombers if the situation demands it. For example the B5Ns could be loaded with 800 kg bombs in either HE or AP variants. In fact an AP variant of this bomb was responsible for sinking USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor.

The fact that torpedo bombers can attack installations in this game can be explained that they're equipped with regular bombs instead of torpedoes for those particular bombing runs. Also: SlashZero wrote:

According to wikiwiki, the rationale is the equipment and make of IJN dive bombers were specialized to anti-ship combat with relatively small payloads, and therefore would not be used against land targets. Exceptions do exist but those aren't reflected in the game.
