How historical is the Dutch airstrike in World of Warships?

Land-based bombers dropping parachute bombs over the open ocean are judged an implausible historical capability for Dutch cruisers.

Question

Is the Dutch airstrike mechanic in World of Warships historically accurate?

Short answer

No. Calling land-based bombers to deliver parachute bombs far out at sea is rejected as historically implausible.

Notes

The Dutch airstrike calls in land-based bombers to drop parachute bombs over ships far out at sea. That combination is rejected as historically implausible. The aircraft presentation also prompts disagreement: one participant remembers Japanese markings on the Dutch planes, while another says the markings were corrected for some aircraft models but remained on others. The qualification concerns the game's changing models and does not alter the rejection of the open-ocean attack mechanic.
