Yes, torp. bomber's stats on CVs affects shelling support exp. Shelling support exp. is believed to be equal to one cycle of regular shelling. actually you would not lose any planes with shelling support exp..

It is believed torp. bombers' accuracy/critical chance in air-strike phase is strongly affected by air control status. As you mentioned, Ryuusei-kai and Suisei12A has almost no difference in shelling phase firepower--and Ryuusei-kai is better than Suisei12A in air-strike phase. if you have enough Ryuusei-kai and air supremacy, there are no reason to use Suisei12A, for now (unless enemy is a base, like Port Darwin--I thought they are immune to torpedoes including air-strike phase).

In fact, Suisei12A equivalent for torp. bombers is regular Ryuusei, not Ryuusei-kai. we need better dive bombers, now!
