 @Archer88 a quick  explanation  about dive bombers and installations based on my limited knowledge of naval warfare and IJN tactics/doctrine:  Dive bombers typically carried small (60-250 kg) bombs designed more to pierce armoured targets than cause large explosions, so while they could cause some sort of damage to land installations it wouldn't be anything significant.  As for why Torpedo bombers can attack land bases; they'd normally carry a single relativity heavy torpedo, however this obviously isn't going to work versus something on land. So to enable them to attack a land base the torpedo would be replaced with a single large (~800 kg) high explosive bomb without causing any significant aerodynamic or weight issues, unlike the dive bombers which weren’t designed for such heavy/large payloads.
