A Canadian-built Helldiver strike on Tirpitz

The size of the attacking force matters more than the Helldiver's national production variant.

Question

How would the Canadian-built Helldiver variant fare against Tirpitz?

Short answer

A single aircraft would fare badly, while a squadron-strength strike is judged much more promising.

Notes

The Canadian-built aircraft is treated as another Helldiver for the purpose of attacking Tirpitz. A single dive bomber is expected to fare badly. Sending a squadron changes that assessment substantially. The initial answer therefore makes the number of aircraft more important than the national production variant.
