Well, The SB2C was never liked due to several of it's qualities, most notably, lack of maneavearability. And you do kinda need that if you want to survive a dive bombing run. And the best part is, they never fixed that perticular issue. So even during late-war, they lacked it still, which is why pilots still perfered the SBD and, when they found out how versitile it was, the Hellcat.
