Without reaserching, I'd say no.

Not much tonnage left by the time it was introduced. All but one cv that attacked Pearl Harbor was sunk by SBD's, I believe.

Fastest dive bomber from WWII.

The later models fixed most of the problems. Unfortunately, those later models (-4 and -5) missed the War and by then the purpose-built dive bomber was obsolete, anyway.

The SB2C-3 was the production model that fixed the issues that had plagued the SB2C-1 and SB2C-2, like the addition of the 1,900HP R-2600-20 Double Cyclone and Curtis 4-bladed propeller.

That mark goes to the SBD.
